I am applying to Aberdeen among other unis and would really like to know what the city is like because I haven't been and missed the open day! My mum seems to have a real problem with me going to Aberdeen and she can't give a valid reason why so I would just like to know from either people that live there or have visited what Aberdeen is like and some reasons for and against going there for 4 years.

Thanks to anyone with some info! :biggrin:

Hey guys!

What would you say (better from experience) is the chance of finding a job in Aberdeen while studying in the University of Aberdeen? How much does a job approximately pay and is it sufficient to pay for rent and personal expenses? Thanks :wink:

To be honest, I find Aberdeen quite boring, although it's nice to have the rivers and a lot of green spaces around. The weather can be atrocious and there's not really much to do in town. That said, I'm under 18, so I can't really comment on the nightlife or student activities. I did some work experience at the university during the summer, though, and the staff were all very friendly.
