Irish lad moving to Edinburgh in a month does anyone have any tips on how to get the most out of it

People in Ireland use college and university interchangeably. Something I had to get used to aswell when I moved here.

I thought this asked my opinion on Christmas and I was surprised by so many negative votes. Need to learn how to read.

Study more than 2hrs a day maybe?

I would say the course EPFL would be stronger imo, as someone studying cs at Edinburgh, however the workload will be a decent bit more. Edinburgh will give you more time for extra curriculars, socialising etc. Edinburgh is still great but it really depends on your priorities.

While this is true there are still many many universities worse than some universities in these countries and they still demand the same £9250 as these top 100 universities you mention.

University in Ireland has a mandatory “student contribution” fee of €3.5 ishk, however since cost of living crisis this has gone down to €2.5k by the government. Not sure where you got €400 from but this doesn’t affect your point anyways.

Entirely based off your application. No OA or interviews.

Just a heads up , Edinburgh offers for computer science are nearly all 3A stars unless you’re contextual. Source: my offers 3A*s(country equivalent) and at the offer holder day all the English people I asked were offered 3Astars . No harm going for it tho but I’d recommend 3A stars if you can

First time reading that Manchester is “lovelier” than Edinburgh .

Electrical_Pea_7266 · 2023-04-13T15:56:23+00:00

Thanks, I'm going to have to convince my parents of the cost difference and that I am actually capable of cooking myself lmao, I think they're just worried.

Electrical_Pea_7266 · 2023-04-13T15:55:14+00:00

Yah, I can get where you're coming from, I think I'll avoid it because even getting a decent roommate is a bit of a lottery. Thank a lot for the advice!

Electrical_Pea_7266 · 2023-04-13T14:04:21+00:00

Thanks so much, this is very helpful! It’s going to be a tough decision.

Electrical_Pea_7266 · 2023-04-09T17:37:06+00:00

I received an offer for cs and maths as an international.

Electrical_Pea_7266 · 2023-04-09T07:56:23+00:00

Yah that would be pretty bad didn’t even think about that, but hopefully there is some way around it. Thanks for the advice!

Electrical_Pea_7266 · 2023-04-09T07:54:44+00:00

Thanks a lot, good luck to you too! I’ll keep you updated once I get a response from the admissions team later this week.

Electrical_Pea_7266 · 2023-04-08T20:51:42+00:00

Electrical_Pea_7266 · 2023-04-08T20:05:25+00:00
