Any good but cheap places to stay close to the railway station or close to a bus route so I can take the bus in the morning?

There's a Travelodge on the corner of Union Street and Bridge Street, and the Number 3 bus runs direct to the hospital from Bridge Street. The railway station is at the bottom end of that road as well.
I replied to accept my interview last week, does anyone know if I should receive a confirmation email. I'm worried they haven't got my email :frown:

Try not to let stress get the better of you. As I have mentioned on this thread before, lots of people received invitations to interview in late February/March.


Thanks, it really helps a bit... Anyway, at least I already have some offers :wink: Does anyone know whether EU students get invitations before UK students, or it is rather random?
When you think about it, you guys submitted your applications about 4 months ago now. At tops you have 5 weeks to wait. You've done the hard part :smile:

Do you need to take proper ID with you to the interview? I know in the email it says that you should bring either 'a passport sized colour photograph of yourself OR
other photographic proof such as a passport or a driving licence that we can copy'. It's just every other interview asks you to bring a passport and I appear to have lost mine...

Thanks, this is great news. I was really panicking when I realised my passport was missing. I thought I wasn't gonna be able to do the interview. I've got spare photos from my Glasgow interview so I'll just use one of them. I should probably get a provisional and stop taking my passport out for ID...

Wouldn't that have been of more use before your interview? :s-smilie:
Good luck to the candidates being interviewed on the 14th, 15th and 16th.

Ah. In my naivety I had assumed that 'Awaiting decision' actually meant that an interview had taken place.
