The official 'Glasgow is my firm!' thread 2012!

Wait, can you see the accommodation on the applicant visit day? Cos I've already been and thought you just went to ask questions and stuff?

Nice! Glad to see someone from here with the same name lol.
Will you be doing IB/Matura this year? I wish I'd be through the exams already...


From Hungary (Budapest), so SAAS thankfully covers me. Tuitions were raised here also, which means a good degree may cost like 50% of that in England. To call it absurd would be an understatement, comparing the wages in the two countries... And of course, better career prospects with a degree from Glasgow while meeting new people and nice places Those uni societies look great btw, just hope our future coursemates won't be too geeks to hang out lol

I thought you're already out of high school that you hold unconditional offers?!

Haha yes. I'll do the Matura, but I'm really not looking forward to it. :P A lot of Hungarians seem to go to Glasgow this year actually, I already know about at least 10 people. They must like us out there haha. Which school do you go to, since we happen to live in the same city?

Wow Hungary! Yeah, Glasgow looks really good, but I honestly wish i got rejected from either glasgow or edinburgh cos i got offers for both in November and i still havent made my mind up as its so hard to choose :/ I know! I'm so excited about the societies and lol Did you apply to edinburgh?

Nah in Scotland its a bit different from England, in scotland we do our Highers in 5th Year and you have a choice to stay on for 6th year but many people leave to get a job and get money for uni but some unis prefer you to stay on I'm really excited to meet people from all over the world tbh

Yeah, I hadn't thought it would be such a popular destination (if 10 people can be called popular lol). Will send a PM!


Waiting since November, you joking?? It's been almost a half year Choose Glasgow now!!!! lol just kidding, you still have plenty of time to decide

Yes I applied to Edinburgh, but I got rejected (thankfully?) so it was an easy decision to make afterwards.
Ahh I know that 1st year students are usually quite young in Scottish unis, in this case you are not really.

I just love everything there, the landscapes, people, whiskies and accountancy firms haha. Maybe I'm a bit afraid of the weather, hope it's not that awful as its reputation.

Today I received an unconditional offer from Glasgow for Business and Management! I'm so freaking excited about it! I will be firming it within the next days!!

Wow I've firmed Glasgow for Business and Management too. See you in September!

Firming Glasgow as well! I went to the open day and I loved it - felt a little old though! Need to get to know some folks!!!

Wow I've firmed Glasgow for Business and Management too. See you in September!

Yeah, Glasgow looks really good, but I honestly wish i got rejected from either glasgow or edinburgh cos i got offers for both in November and i still havent made my mind up as its so hard to choose :/
