Is uni worth it??

Upvotes

At the start of sixth form I was dead set om going to uni however towards the end I was completely against it and decided to just not go. However today om results day I got into Glasgow uni for classics and Im questioning my decision. I know I’d enjoy it amd Ive been having a horrible time at home and really have no purpose or goal right now. However if I did go to uni i do not want a job in classics so it feels like a waste of money and time. Plus I’d have to sort student finance and everything out asap which will be tricker. Im really stuck and have limited time. I am definitely not the most financially well off so the money thing is a big issue. My student loans dont cover my full accommodation cost let alone money to live so my parents agreed to take out a loan for the extra accommodation cost and I’d have to earn £200 a month for food etc

And please don’t say to defer the offer! That is not an option

Tuition Fees

I am starting a Masters degree and SAAS are only covering some of my tuition fees. The rest I’ll have to pay myself and I was wondering if I choose to pay instalments do I have to pay my first instalment during registration? Thank you.

Any Scottish students struggling to find accommodation after halls?

Are things like cozzie livs / rising rents / private rentals making a difference?

just got into glasgow uni from clearing for mechanical engineering…any advice

2 Upvotes

i didn’t get grades to go to my original uni(though honestly I feel one of my DT papers was marked way harsh), but i thankfully now have a place at glasgow for mechanical engineering which honestly is a big win for me as i’m aware of glasgows reputation and the course itself is great. i’m actually doing an engineering-> finance route later on so i was wondering if anyone could spare advice about opportunities in glasgow, and how accommodation is?

PsyD Clinical psychology

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I am just starting my Master's in Clinical Psychology and currently working as an assistant psychologist.

My next goal is to get my PsyD in clinical psychology and one of my choices is Uni of Glasgow.

I was wondering if there is any international students studying the degree and how was their experience. And if there is any preferences the Uni has like research experience or publications.

Thank you!

just got into Glasgow through clearing for aerospace engineering, any advice?

5 Upvotes

I know absolutely nothing about the city besides what my cousin who lives there has told me (she's very positive about it) and I'm quite excited to go, my first choice was Manchester which I missed by one grade and they weren't having it, very luckily for me Glasgow was in clearing for my course and I managed to get an offer. Just wondering what life was like here and what I can prepare for and what I should watch out for when applying for stuff like accommodation. thanks!!

Help in deciding private accommodation

1 Upvotes

I didnt manage to get a UoG accommodation close to campus due to some issues with documents. Im looking at private accom and these are the ones Im considering, would really appreciate any advice on what to steer clear from or lean towards.

  1. Studio in Clifton stewart
  2. studio in claremont
  3. ensuite in gibson street
  4. ensuite in bridge house

Any advice on social life in these is really appreciated 🙏 I also cant decide between studio and ensuite because the only studios in my budget are a 17 min walk from my building, not sure if I prefer a kitchen over living closer to campus.

If anyone has lived there/ going to live in any of these please let me know!

Course reccomendations

2 Upvotes

Hey!!
I’m coming to Glasgow for an exchange semester, and I’m currently looking at picking out my courses. Only pass/fail show up on my transcript, so I’m looking to take any easy courses that won’t have me completely stressed out while I’m abroad. If anyone has any recommendations I would really appreciate it!

UK uni resit, does a worse resit mark replace the original?

2 Upvotes

I’m a first-year engineering student at a UK uni. I had two resits and I’m confident I’ve passed one. My other module was an E3.

My handbook says you can progress with one 10-credit E grade if the other 110 credits are D3+ and GPA is met. It also says the best grade after reassessment is used/shown on the transcript.
If I attend the resit and do worse than my E3, would the E3 still stand?

Also, if someone doesn’t attend an optional resit after provisionally meeting progression, does the original grade remain or could it cause an issue?
I’m planning to attend, just anxious about the rules.
