Hello lovely people

Ill be headed to Glasgow Uni's Dumfries Campus next month to do Environmental Stewardship.

Ill be headed to the open day on Wed 15th. Anyone going?

Would love if any current students could share a little about student life there - Accommodation prices, Student Groups/Sports, Nightlife, Traveling in to Uni etc

I previously studied a BSc at Glasgow Unis main campus so I know its going to be a massive difference going from several thousand students to about 200 so would love to know if theres still a uni feel?

Where have you been looking in order to find flats? Im not having a lot of luck online. I cant find much rental property in Dumfries but there must be.

[davidh124]

Well I've been looking but it seems a two bed is te sameish price of a one bed ! We should add on Facebook and create a group, easier to chat on.

My uncle also knows a guy in Dumfries who owns a lot of property so I've asked him to find out what kind of availability he has in te way of flats.

[Tinberry]

Thats awesome. Ill find you on the facebook and send a msg

Welcome to the homeless in Dumfries club :/

David, there seems to be a million people with your name on fb. Theres only 3 of me and im the one sat on a pier

Im going to do a big hunt and hopefuly some phoning around in the next few days so if I find stuff all pass it on. Ill see if there is like 3 or 4 bed flats as well as rooms in flat shares so ill let you know

[Victorijaa]

I added you on facebook, Kirstin. :} Anf if you find something suitable, please count me in. ^^ I'm still looking for rooms/flats on different websites but I'm not doing well. :/ The owners usually don't reply to messages for a long time and if I call them by phone, they don't answer either. :/
