Mealmarket Exchange anyone??

I'm in Flat 405. Looking forward to it now

Ah you'll be in the same block as us then We'll all need to get a flat warming in our first week there

haha wicked, when is everyone looking to move in?

The contract for the flat starts on the 8th but my course doesn't start till the 18th

Flat 413, moving in with two friends

Next door to us in 412

ah cool! we will have to get some kind of flat warming party going haha
what are you studying?

412 Room B, going Gallowgate Uni for 1st year. Really looking forward to moving in and meeting people
Where is everyone coming in from ?

Hey roomie!!! I'm Stacy, from just outside Edinburgh and will be studying Midwifery at RGU (along with 2 of our roommates) where are you from?

A'right !! Pleasure to meet you Stacy. Initially from a wee village called Balfron down between Glasgow and Stirling. Was in Australia for 7 months on immigration but it was the wrong time for me so am now in Mallorca living with my dad and step-family. Will be on my way home soon though .

So do you know the other two of our roomies?

Nice to "meet" you too

So what will you be studying? I know 2 of the girls who we're sharing with - through another forum though lol haven't met them yet though

I'll be studying Applied Science at Gallowgate for a year to allow me to go on to study Marine Biology.

How long is your course and will you be in Mealmarket the whole time?

Ah I see, and where will you be studying Marine Biology?

My course is 3 years - not quite sure yet if I'll be in Mealmarket the whole time, will need to wait and see if I can afford to! lol

Haha, ye, do you have any clue what the job situation is like in Aberdeen? Just general retail, supermarket kind of jobs.

I'm not too sure where I'll study Marine Biology. I'm wanting to look for somewhere that integrates some element of diving into the course but I know that will be rare.


I'm wondering what the age spread in the flat/halls will be like. I'm only 17 and I've heard there quite a number of 20+ year old students staying so I'm a bit nervous about being the 'baby' of the flat, lol. Do you know much about the other tenants?

I've heard that its quite easy to get a part time job up there - but cant talk from experience!

Dont worry about age - I know one of the girls is 18, myself and another are 25, and have no clue about the other 2. I worry about being old!!! lol

Alriight, I'm wanting to get one before my course starts as I'm moving in a month(ish) before and don't feel like sitting twiddling my thumbs all day

Ye I know it's silly of me Well, however things are it's sure to be an experience, lol.

Will this be your first time living in halls and studying?

Yeah definitely!! Sounds like a plan

I'm studying Midwifery at RGU - how about you?

sorry i havent been on here in ages!

Forensic and analytical science, going into 3rd year
