St. Andrews Postgraduate Applicants 2013

Hi Natasha,

Congrats on the offer in any case. I'm not sure what to expect of our class but it already sounds like it might be a fairly eclectic mix (I studied Economics and Finance)

Looking forward to getting started but I'm definitely in need of a stats refresher course!

Hi,
I've just found this forum and thought id join in!
I am about to start a PhD starting september in chemistry. I am just starting to look at places to live... anyone got any advice / also needs somewhere to live!!
I'd love to hear from anyone also in the same boat

Katie

Thank you! Congratulations to you too! From what I gather most people come from a mathematics/finance/economics background - only one other person has taken the course after a psychology degree as far as I know, although I think the introductory classes make it quite accessible to those without a heavy maths background. I've dabbled in some physics and finance in my first two years at uni though so i'm hoping I can keep up haha! Will definitely be browsing my stats notes over summer ... :P

Hi Jon and Natasha!

Congratulations to both of you.

Just to add some more variety, my background is computer science/music/psycholinguistics.

Course: MSc Applied Statistics and Datamining

Currently finishing my MChem here and have been offered a PhD out of the blue
by one of the professors which I'm likely to accept. Fellow chemist [/QUOTESo where do you intend to live as a PhD student. Son is currently looking for somewhere but it is not an easy time of year.He will also be PhD - Physics.

The offer was made just a week ago and I'm still in the middle of exams. My intention will be to apply to self catered accommodation purely on the grounds of cost-Fife Park is £70/w all in for the year.

Think he has applied for halls but is hoping to find something else before he commits.he is a shared house at the moment In Nottingham and would prefer that if possible.

I am also thinking of house sharing if its something both or one of you would be interested in, I think between people we could get some cheaper plaqces to live from what i've seen from briefly looking!!
I'd love to hear ytour thoughts



More than happy to do so but it definitely isn't a cheap market here! The neighbouring places (Guardbridge, Leuchars, Kingsbarns, Crail), are also worth looking in.

Natasha - I have accepted a place on the Marine Mammal Science course. Which course are you more inclined to choose do you think?
I was wondering what accommodation everybody was looking at. I was thinking about Fife Park, Albany Park, or Gannochy House. Thoughts anybody?

I'm afraid all postgrad accommodation has been fully allocated so you will need to look in the private sector. Good places to look are 'The Sinner' forum and spareroom.co.uk.
