Hey guys,
I am going to Glasgow Caledonian University this year wooo - excited! But scared too, anyone else going? And where is everyone living?

[Linukas]

Hi!
Well, I maybe will. I just need to take IELTS exam in June and then will know for sure

[Miss Trololol]

Hi there!

Yup, I'm going this year! I'm really excited cos I've wanted to go to Glasgow Caledonian for ages now. I'm hoping to get into halls but apparently the application form isn't available until the end of April :/

I'm going to be doing Psychology with Interactive Entertainment. What is everyone else going to be studying?

[StineS]

I'm going to GCU to study media&communication, what about you guys?

And I will also try to get into halls...

I'm going to Caley this year to study Diagnostic Radiography. Really exciting as it's a big career change for me. I'm not too far from the uni so will be travelling in each day. Can't wait to start!

I've accepted my conditional for International Business at Caley! Soooo excited, just wanna go to uni now! Has anyone heard anything about applying for accommodation yet? X

I emailed at the end of march about applying for accommodation but I was told that the application form won't be available until end of April so probably next week sometime.

Aw thanks! I emailed ages ago and they didn't give me a deadline so I guess I'm just being impatient haha!

[StineS]

has anyone with an unconditional offer already firmed? Did you get a confirmation email or anything from GCU that they received the information and look forward to meeting you in September etc?

Also, will they send out welcome packages or additional information about how to get there and when and stuff? when, any ideas?

[kirstysmithh]

Awww that is good I have been wanting to go for ages too, and when my unconditional came through accepted it straight away! I was going to apply for Psychology with IE but decided Social Sciences is better for me so I am studying Socail Sciences yay, anyone else doing it?

And yeah I am hopefully going into Buchanan View Halls just next to Caley. Cannot wait!

I got a confirmation letter and email when I firmed my choice, but I am not sure about welcome packages... I firmed in January and haven't recived anything yet, so I don't know!

[Miss Trololol]

I firmed for weeks ago and I still haven't anything apart from the acceptance letter from UCAS :/

Omg, I was going to apply for Social Sciences but applied for Psychology with IE instead! XD

Also, I applied for Buchanan View halls as well. Made the deposit today after much messing around with my bank.

That's not the 'official' GCU hall, is it? Or is it a part of Caledonian Court? I have no idea how this UNITE stuff works... Application is not via GCU I guess? I wish I was not so far away and could take a look myself

No, I figured that my chances of getting into the official GCU hall was pretty low. While I live a far distance away and it's my first year, I'm 20. Priority goes to first year students, under 19s and international students.

Yeah, UNITE is a little tricky. It took me a little while to figure out the website

Ohh well... Maybe I should give UNITE a closer look as well

[StineS]

Wait, does European count as "international" in this case? I'm never sure...

I think it's anyone who normally lives outside of the UK is classed as an International student

[Linukas]

No, I am pretty sure that International students are those outsine UK and outsine EU

Miss Trololol, really? I am also 20. Didn't know that age matters in this case... So sad, then I have no idea where I will be livingD

I wanted to ask about answering offers. Do I have to wait until I get my IELTS and then answer or I have to answer now that I will take IELTS as they asked me?

Hey! I'm going to Cali to study optometry. Would be staying in the halls. Very excited and nervous.
Anyone else studying optometry?

[kirstysmithh]

Yeah I didn't know what I wanted to do and cause you do 6 subjects I can decide what to specialise in later which is good
Yes I need to hurry up and book into Buchanan View before all the rooms go
