Cuddling cows seems much more fun than cuddling test tubes, I don't know about the whole pHD thing, it could be a bit boring.

For us lucky Scots who decide to study in scotland they do but everyone else has to pay reduced fees.

are you serious? Scottish people don't pay any tuiton fees at all if they remain in Scotland??

It's not AS good as it sounds. They add at lump sum of £2000 onto your student loan and the accomodation is really expensive. And you have to live near me my mum.

Oh, please stop making me feel guilty about wanting to get the hell out of here! :secruity:

Hawk - never come to Scotland. Sheesh, I'd have thought you Irish were a little streetwise. Never mention the work "Ulster" in conversation - you'll get you're head kicked in. :rolleyes:

yeh we dont pay anything (except the £2000 "Graduation TAX" Is it tax or did i make that up? lol it might be fee) -and thats the way it should be.
Thats the reason why there are so many americans on the glasgow vet course - because they bring a ton of money to the university every year.
Scots have to pay their fees if they fail a year though, or if they change courses.

england.

and for the training you have to go through,and the nature of the job, 40,000 p.a. is peanuts.

You qualify for special access schemes and education maintenence allowance if your parents' income is 30,000..so go figure.

I'm Scottish, and while 40 grand is not exactly below the poverty line, it's not fabby. I mean,look at it this way - we're all rather intelligent, hard working and personable. We could make soooooo much more doing law or medicine.

Well, we stayed on campus for 4 days and two people got mugged. go figure.

one of the guys who went to nottingham this year for economics came back to visit us today (crashed into our chem class and saved us from absolute boredom...) and he said nottingham's quite a nice place. dunno *shrugs* :rolleyes:
