I've just firmed for Sociology & Social Policy - any others out there? :smile: I'll be 18 by September and am Scottish - about an hour or so from Stirling. Looking forward to booking my accommodation now!


AKD your first choice by any chance? :smile:

You never know! I'm still deciding and waiting on my confirmation before I can book (I think that's right anyway?) Or I could go for ASH since my name is Ashley! Maybe the whole initials thing could work in my favour? :wink:

It was yeah but would be better to try the hall though, be nearer everyone else. Excited too, just feels quite a long time away..though it'll probably go so fast! Do you know anyone else going to Stirling? (:

Yeah, it will be easier to get know people. 4 months... Ugh! You're right though! I'm sure it'll come round soon enough :smile: No, I'm afraid not. Most of my friends are either going to College or away up towards the north. What about you?

Same! As much as I love my family I had to get out! :tongue: Haha! Just outside Edinburgh (East Calder to be very specific). What about you? Yeah, I totally agree! No doubt I'll have butterflies in my stomach on the first day hah. Do you know the day we move in to ASH?

I'm just outside Glasgow in Cambuslang. I'm not sure of the exact day..the commencement day says 7th September so I'm not sure if that means you can move in after that date or if your allowed to before. When does your course start?

Hi I'm doing English Studies and Professional Education too, I'm 23 and stay 10 mins bus journey from the university so I will be commuting.

What aspect of the course are you looking forward to?

Sounds great! Sociology & Social Policy :smile: I'm really looking forward to starting at Stirling! How long did it take to get your confirmation email/letter (not sure what to expect!) once you accepted your offer? :confused:

Willow Court filled up, that's the way things went.


As you'll know, ASH is the only other place you'll get an ensuite. It is no where near as nice as Willow Court but it is nice enough. I don't think it is worth the extra money compared to flats but its up to you.
