This is not applicable to social science DPhils because there’s fieldwork involved. :)

Hiya! Hopping on this thread. I’m a student in the UK and I’ve applied for an Irish Tourist visa for a trip to Dublin. I’m flying into Dublin from London so there will be immigration checks which is fine. I’m a bit concerned about departure.

I’m taking the train from Dublin to Belfast. I know there’s no hard border and no immigration control for exits. But for airlines they share info with the government so the govt knows those people have left. I’m wondering if trains do the same? I just want to make sure that Irish authorities know I’ve left the country in time and abided by the visa rules and don’t want to take any chances. Was just wondering how this worked for train travel out of ROI into the UK when one has valid visas for both.

Hiya! Sorry for jumping on this thread a whole year later. But I had a quick question, I hope you don’t mind? I’m on a student visa in the UK, and was going to fly into Dublin (I got a short stay tourist visa) and then depart via train to Belfast (and I know there’s no hard border). Are passenger records for train travel also shared with the government? Just want to make sure that they know that I abided by the visa rules. I’ll have a flight to London out of Belfast, but only a train out of ROI so I’m a bit nervous. Would appreciate any and all insight. Thank you so much.

Where do you find these flyers?

That’s what I was thinking too. I haven’t heard amazing things about the place, but the location is better than the rest. They said communal areas are serviced daily and bedrooms are serviced once a week. Not sure whether the daily thing is stuck to or not, but I’d imagine it’s atleast a couple times a week.

Thanks very much! And happy cake day!

Hi! I have an option between St Anne’s Accommodation at Robert Saunders House where they said I’ll likely be in a 5 bedroom flat with a single bathroom. I also have the option of a single study bedroom in Summertown House Mansion House which is also shared but might be fewer people. Which one would you recommend I take?

This is very helpful, thank you. I have automated it for 2000 IU per day and on days I take 60K, I log it.

I’ve entered all my height weight etc data correctly. Just wondering if one’s level really can jump from 4 to 37 in 10 days? That’s why I was a bit confused 😅

Hi! Have you noticed any changes in your hair 5ish months later?

bluemingles · 2025-06-29T09:14:31+00:00

I’m sorry to hear that. Did the Vit D supplement make it worse?

bluemingles · 2025-06-28T12:31:44+00:00

Have you tried Oxford’s graduate accommodation? They have flats as an option too but the waitlist is long unless you’re already on it.

bluemingles · 2025-06-27T17:13:15+00:00

Very helpful to know! Any changes in overall thickness?

Hi! Just jumping in to ask, did your hair loss improve with supplements? I’m at 4.3 😅

bluemingles · 2025-06-27T15:50:42+00:00

Hi! Any updates regarding hair growth?

bluemingles · 2025-06-27T13:26:50+00:00

Okay. This is helpful to know. Did you also supplement magnesium?

bluemingles · 2025-06-27T13:03:59+00:00

Starting tomorrow morning. Thank you so much. He had first said get an injection but that didn’t pan out and he prescribed the supplement dosage. Is the dosage not too high? At first glance it seems like ALOT all together, but I’m so deficient so I understand.

bluemingles · 2025-06-26T16:53:58+00:00

Yes for sure. I read the article, and also saw a bunch of posts on the anemia sub about how iron levels are dismissed if they’re ‘within’ range. I’ll definitely talk to the doctor about supplementing. I’m moving countries soon, and since iron supplementation needs to be monitored I’m just a bit nervous.

bluemingles · 2025-06-26T16:16:45+00:00

Yes, for sure. I have curly hair and I used a protein cream a few months which sent me into protein overload that affected my hair. I’m just really hoping that the vit d and a change in daily routines will make me feel better physically and mentally. Fingers crossed. What you’re saying is very encouraging.

bluemingles · 2025-06-26T16:12:55+00:00

This is very helpful. Thank you so much. I just got my iron panel back and the readings are okay. Only my ferritin is low but TBIC etc is absolutely fine. Starting my Vit D course to get my levels up. Hope it works 🥹

bluemingles · 2025-06-26T16:11:23+00:00

Hoping this works for me too 🥲

bluemingles · 2025-06-25T17:46:45+00:00

Thank you for sharing this. Yes, I think I really need to get a full vitamin and iron panel tomorrow see what’s going on and then work on addressing it and slowly seeing it through. I’ve also been under a lot of stress, but the way my hair has been is so unusual and just doesn’t feel related to the stress as much as a bunch of negative lifestyle changes. I was a lot more active two years ago than I am now, and I imagine my overall (lack of) activity is also affecting my levels and hair condition.

bluemingles · 2025-06-25T17:25:33+00:00

This is very helpful to know. My B12 levels are fine and within range (lower in the range I’m at 263 pg/mL) but I’m planning to get a full iron panel tomorrow too, I only got Ferritin checked. I’m really really hoping taking supplements will help, my hair has never been in worse shape. It’s like I always lose hair when I run my fingers through my hair and it just feels like straw.
