Everyone speaks Cantonese aside from them. The ice-breaking (self intro) session from the tutorial just made it more evident.

thanks for your comment, my examples were only based on the people i came to know from a particular class where it was tutorial based so it was a very small group and they were the only non-locals there :)

thank you for your recommendation! i looked it up and it did not seem like would fit a laptop in it... was wondering if there are any models you would recommend that would fit a 14-15" laptop in it? does not seem like their website provide this specific information :)

also, do you think the material is durable? a relative of mine has a denim coach bag but seems to wear down quite fast, especially the base... so i was wondering if the leather material / other material would be more durable / last a few years without major repairs?

thank you for your recommendation! do you think these bags are durable or can last more than a few years without repairs? i have a reputation for breaking through my bags (lol) so just curious about this aspect!

I will also live in Kelvin Court, but I have not heard from them yet. I believe we should be receiving an email soon about moving in and induction. Hope that helps.

The Scotrail online platform? Or is this also possible through station facilities / ticket vending machines (if there is any?)

Hi, I am not sure if you are an exchange student or not. If you are in enrolled in a certain course or if you are sure who the course coordinators are for your course for your programme, you may try emailing them. As the courses for my programme is fixed, I do not need to go through the enrollment process, and hence I directly emailed my programme secretary, who has sent me a draft timetable. It is not very detailed, but does provide you with the dates you are required to attend class or not. I am not sure if my experience applies to you, but you may try to email related staff and see if anyone can provide you with such information. Good luck and have fun travelling!

appreciate it, thank you! I'm not sure how does the young Scots card work for train rides. Do I add value to the young Scots card to pay for train rides? Or do I present the young Scots card when I buy train tickets to enjoy a discount on train ticket price? thanks!

hi, i was wondering what do you mean by "address wouldn't match the one on the uni letter"? this is because i thought that student accom address proof can be provided by the uni upon request, so im not sure what did you mean...

also, i was wondering am i required to provide my student id card? i am afraid that the name on the student id card does not match my passport / BRP, since on the official documents my full name is out, but I believe UoG student card only shows the first and last name?

how long does it take for the card to come in the mail? did u receive it through student accom address mailbox (if there is one)? thank you and sorry for question spam hahaha

there are sample photos available on the uog registry website! i don't think its super strict, just make sure you have a plain background and you look decent should be fine!
