People in Scotland

Hello! I'm 1995 born girl from EU and I have applied to three universities in Scotland (Abertay, UWS, QMU), and already got conditional acceptance to Abertay.
Anyways, I come from Finland and would like to know about, well, everything relevant about studying and living in Scotland. I don't know anyone from Scotland, so I'm kinda nervous about moving there.
Some "mental support" and encouragement would be great haha :smile:

From Queen Margaret I got a message that the course of psychology is full, they offered me a place for public sociology. Since I want to study psychology, I go to Abertay (I have a conditional offer) or UWS (haven't received a decision yet) :smile:

Scottish people are very blunt and are a bit closed to outsiders but they have a brilliant sense of humour and once youve gotten past those barriers, theyre very welcoming

I personally wouldn't say we are blunt. But of course there are people from all countries that are like that.

Ok well I think then that as usually, people's reaction is based on my own behaviour, so if I'm open everything is going to be ok :biggrin:
