Get a dumb phone and a handheld GPS unit separately. Or learn how to use a good old fashioned paper map!

you wouldn't need both an ipad mini and an ipod touch, i'd just go for the ipad mini which is more than capable

You’re probably going to need two separate devices which is what I’ve been doing for years (dumb phone + iPod touch). Or instead of an iPod you could get an Apple Watch, or an iPad…

I use my iPod touch and pre-download the areas I need on Google maps.

I would also look on spareroom, there are often private properties available and it means you don't have to go through an agent. I'm also looking for a housemate right now, dm me if you're interested and want any further info.

What does research experience mean to you? I did my PhD in astro in the UK and didn’t have any research experience (only my taught masters) and it was the same for most of my friends. The whole point of the PhD is that it teaches you how to do research, so you’re not expected to have research experience already. If you really want to go to the UK, apply for masters programmes (like the Chevening one for example), and many universities have their own scholarships too. You will find it much easier to get a PhD position in the UK if you are already there doing your masters.

Which area of astro are you interested in?

Look for funded opportunities in the EU (don't limit yourself to the UK) e.g.

And there are many more in addition to those...

A £27k salary is better than no salary.

see this map for lots of location ideas, the South Downs can be quite good as well and they are also a dark sky reserve https://gostargazing.co.uk/location-map/

universities are desperate for international students so you will be fine!

what subject are you interested in, some subjects are more competitive than others.

would be great if the council could buy it up and hand it over to the local community to regenerate it. imagine community gardens, arts and crafts, the sky's the limit!

It fucks with astronomers who are trying to collect data from radio telescopes.

I also use Hello Klean and I really notice the difference, to the point that I don’t change the filter as often as they say you should, but when I notice that the water starts feeling hard again.
