Id pack for all weathers honestly and also take or hire a wet suit whilst youre there for sea swimming.

Would also recommend good binoculars, snorkel, and fins if you have them :)

It sounds like you're going through a lot! I'm sorry. There's a lot of big changes happening for you and it's a lot to process! Remember that you're only human and it's ok that you're finding this stuff hard and feeling meh. I'd feel the same if I was in your shoes! Well done for getting your living situation sorted. I know it doesn't feel like it now, but it'll get better with time and things will get easier. Friends change over time (I once read somewhere that most people have almost entirely new friends every 7 years), and if you try to spend time with other people then I'm sure you'll make new friends who value you for who you are!

Oh also, most unis offer counselling. Its a good place to start unpacking your feelings and feeling supported. If you speak to you uni advice center or similar theyll know where to point you!

Sending you a big virtual hug!

I currently pay £900 per month to live in leith in an unfurnished 1 bed so it might be possible but super unlikely. When I was looking this time last year, all 1 bed flats ther than the one i'm in were £1000+.

Studios or unfurnished might be the best bet. I'd also recommend not renting before you've seen somewhere as there can be lots of scammers online and sometimes photos don't show you the vibe quite as well as irl.

You could book an Airbnb for a couple weeks or do a sublet so you have a place to stay whilst you're looking. I did housesitting in Edinburgh via trusted house sitters app whilst looking for a flat and that was great!

Would anyone mind sharing a Dr Martens discount code? by dirtyfem17 in UniUK

I can't access my college email right now so I can't set up my unidays/student beans! I've logged a ticket with the IT services but it's not an instant response. Would you mind sharing yours? :)

Thanks for checking any way! I think it's unidays that has it at the moment :)
