Why are you choosing Aberdeen over Glasgow? I'm trying to make the same decision (I've ruled out St. Andrews) and I'm extremely confused.

I'm ridiculously excited about the stethoscope and kitchen stuff! Yes!!

Yesss me too. I've spent wayy too much time considering the colours of everyone's stethoscopes at workk... and defo same with kitchen stuff. I was looking for an easter egg mould in tesco the other day, and spent like ten minutes considering plates and which cutlery and saucepans and stuff I'd get!

Because the course just seems so much better, I'm kidding myself that I want to go to Glasgow over Aberdeen. I've always liked the city more than Glasgow, which tbh I'm not that fond of :/

But all the 'special features' at Aberdeen sound really cool. I'm quite keen for the Medical Humanities block. Also the fact there are more lectures, which I think is suited to me over PBL...

Also, even though we never got a tour of Glasgow, the tour of Aberdeen got me really excited, it all looked so nice and I liked how its all pretty much together.

And accomodation at Hillhead all looks really good.
Oh and the social aspect, all the MedSoc stuff sounds good, like beerienteering haha

I think that's all my reasons :tongue:

I'm ridiculously excited about the stethoscope and kitchen stuff! Yes!!

I'm the opposite as I'd prefer to live in Glasgow over Aberdeen.

Yeah, the fact that everything was all on one campus really appealed to me. There's so many aspects of the course that I like.

This really is gonna be a difficult decision. I'd rather study in Aberdeen but I'd rather live in Glasgow...

I'm in somewhat a similar position. Really attracted to the course at Aberdeen (medical humanities ssc, community course etc.) but Southampton seems like a better place to stay (nicer weather, near london etc.) Not too sure how much emphasis to give to location and course content, especially when I'm an international who has never been to UK so all I'm basing on is information garnered from internet and people!
