Current Edinburgh Students Chat Thread

when do results usually come through? Also, is it like after semester 1 where you just get the individual grades on myed, or more of an average grade for the year?

Way cooler than me. I'll be doing an internship here in Edinburgh. Bashing the keyboard away. Hopefully do some travelling around Scotland as well.

Your degree certificate literally says the classification so unless you apply for a postgraduate course where a transcript of module marks is required (not all ask for them) no one will ever care or know what your actual degree percentage was on average.

Although with the way degree classification inflation is going, that will probably change at some point I would imagine.

Sounds cool, what sort of internship ? Something with computers I'm guessing .

I IZ FINISHED. Well, 6 hours ago but the wormhole effect in my kitchen prevented me moving for that long.
Kind of feel a bit sorry for my medic flatmates who still have really hard exams to do but they chose to do it. Mwah ha.

Yeah but we'll be grumpy old graduates with established careers

Yep. Web-scraping or to put it simply - stealing information off other web-sites xD Cannot go back to Ukraine/Bulgaria till September, but I might go to Sweden or Ireland. We shall see. Hope it will be nice
How did your exams go ? We got a bit buggered on one of them as non-examinable stuff suddenly appeared and made up 30% of the exam

What year medics?

Speak for yourself!

You're less than a year younger than me!

And I need to pretend that my career is blossoming and established when in reality I still don't have a permanent contract for September. Having hope is the only way you get through this course!

So, hey, I was just in the box and suggested that an Edinburgh meet could happen, and got a bit of interest from a couple of members. I'm going to ask around the other Edinburgh unis (and other Scottish ones too) if there's enough interest - but would anyone here be up for it? Obviously if it were mainly Scottish university students, it wouldn't happen until next term starts.

Its happened once before in Edinburgh back in 2006 (I didn't go) but to be honest, I don't think there is much real interest or at least, there never has been in the Edinburgh Uni subforum as each year a group of freshers will try and arrange something that materialises into nothing. I was always more than happy to talk to people on here but I didn't actually want to meet people, although that has changed in recent times as I've been to official mod stuff. I wouldn't turn up at this sort of thing even if I did still live in Edinburgh but then that's my personal preference. I'm not sure how many subs who use the backroom are Edinburgh/Glasgow based anyway to actually go, although granted you'll know way better than me as I never go in there

Also, arranging a "Scotland meet" is fairly difficult - I just can't imagine someone from Aberdeen (not that there are many active people) would want to spend approaching 6 hours travelling just to come and meet a bunch of people from TSR, but then you never know! If you were having a PS help staff meet and wanted it in Scotland then that'd be a different matter given that 3 out of the 6 of us are Aberdeen based and even then we still end up going to London

Well, I doubt it would be a huge meet, but including myself there are three subs who are very interested, two or three who seemed interested, and this is just from a shout in the box this afternoon - I reckon between the back room and the threads, I could maybe scrape ten people together; some subs would probably come from the north of England because a) Edinburgh is a city lots of people want to visit anyway and b) not many northern meets seem to happen these days.

I reckon this could be a (small) success
