Hi Jack, thx for all your responses they've been very helpful. I applied very late for the same programme so am yet to receive an offer. my question is, do u have an idea of the cost of accomodation, and where would u rather stay? school owned apartments or private owned, which has a cheaper rate, bearing in mind distance, transportation and proximiity.
Hi the accomodation is around 72£ per week for the cheapest one...I applied for it...that is not great but it is all right if you dont want to spend so much money in it.
It is a small room with a desk, 2 chairs, a bed, wardrobe.
You gonna share your kitchen, 2 loos and the large bathroom with 5 other guys.
that was for myself a very good experience (I used to be in aberdeen for my erasmus) and I improved a lot my english wwith my flatmates.
We raised in previous post the issue of the accomodation shortage.
Indeed, a part of the hall of residence is rebuilt . Therefore, there is not enough rooms for all.
In addition, the prices are more expensive in the private sector and you gotta start your lease from july or august, for one year!
It is nearly 25 mn walk from the uni...you gonna cross a large park (seaton park) to go to uni and gonna see one of the oldest granit church of the world!it could be worst!
the advantages with hillheads is that U have many services:
laundry, store, video club, video games, pools, the pub (watering hole) tennis court, ping pong....and the bus starting in front of the main building and give you a lift to downtown...
that is it!
