    Nah, haven't applied for visa yet as I still haven't received my CAS no.(ETA 1 week) :C
    Although, I was recently allocated accommodation @ John Burnett House (Catered, Pollock halls).
    BTW, I'd suggest you to go for University accommodation for the first year.

    FYI: I currently reside in Gurgaon.

    Hi everyone,

    I am from Delhi. Great to see you guys here. Maybe we all can have a brief meetup in delhi to discuss accommodation, air tickets etc.. before we head for edinburgh.
    I am supposed to join the school of history, classics and archaeology at Univ. of Edinburgh, on 10th sept, 2012.

    Anyway, I have my visa appointment tomorrow. I am just praying to god for everything to go smoothly.

    I will keep you all updated.
