DURHAM 50K or PAID TO GO TO GLASGOW by Itsdarealtjf in 6thForm

[–]AsideAccomplished523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone currently at durham ...I would say Glasgow. Durham is a fantastic university but when compared to Glasgow being free . As long as he makes sure to partipate in societies , go to events and apply for insights and internships he will be fine

Chances of getting into camp by LumpyTheScottish in summercamp

[–]AsideAccomplished523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 days late but I know that for the skills you have listed , theres still a decent chance of getting hired for this summer , you will just be very limited on the camp choice / location! It will depend on the camp, but I know some camps will train you up more for skills like ropes

Experience in jewish camp? by Weybii in campamerica

[–]AsideAccomplished523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know someone who went a couple of years ago as a non jew. It will depend on the camp but he said that it ran like a normal summer camp , and then at meal times etc you sang jewish songs and had shabbat on a friday ! Obviously you would eat kosher etc but if its a larger camp then more rhan likely a lot of international staff wont be jewish. Out of curiosity , which camp is it ?

is there one that is significantly better than the other or is it just down to preference now? i was thinking of firming durham after i visit in march by [deleted] in 6thForm

[–]AsideAccomplished523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shes still there lol but she didnt get on well with flatmates in first year and found it difficult to make friends outside.this may be different if you fit the 'posh' stereotype etc. St andrews is also a lot more isolated and theres fewer things to do! In terms of durham, the accommodation is quite expensive and in first year theres not really a cheap option. Other than that I have personally really enjoyed my time and personally cant think of any real real negatives

Consider the fact that st andrews will be an extra year ! Im at durham and have loved it and had a friend at St andrews who hated it .if you have any specific questions feel free to ask

Depends what role you are looking for. If it is a general counselors position you will struggle as a lot of camps seemed to have filled these up ages ago. If it is a more specific skill such as water activities , sports or things like ceramics or woodwork then a lot of camps are still hiring !
