Hey guys! I’ve got a conditional offer for Aberdeen - I’m still waiting to hear back from 3 other places but Aberdeen has always been my first choice so I’ll be firming here! 
Looking forward to hopefully meeting some of you in September!

Hey! Were you a graduate or undergraduate when you started? do you mind saying what your favourite/least favourite things are about the course? Thanks so much!

So as a whole I'd say because Medicine is all taught on the ARI site you do feel quite distant from others studying at the uni unless you're in a flat with non medics, join societies etc but it can be slightly tricky living with non medic flatmates when I think we're the only course in for example all week mon-fri with most of the uni having wednesday completley off, but we do get wednesday afternoons off. Anatomy is taught well but prosection is a difficult method to learn by.
The teaching staff are very good and known their stuff really well, there's lots of medics and non medic societies to get involved in. I thought the workload would be similar to ug studies (defo not!) much more intense personally but I'm really enjoying Medicine.

Hey - does Aberdeen provide first year medics with a reading list at the start of the course for specific anatomy, biochem textbooks etc. or is there popular ones out there that everyone uses which students buy?

Yeah they do but closer to the time so I wouldn't worry right now! I wouldn't recommend buying all the books (they take up space and money!) and some books I've maybe used once then never again, and most of the books are also in the library.
I'd say personally certainly for first term the only books that are good to have own copies will be for anatomy and possibly the physiology one, biochem is good to have but overcomplicates the subject a bit. Books like Macleod for clinical exam are prob more useful for when you start systems after Christmas.
Every uni can be different in terms of recommended books but Aberdeen should send suggested books list closer to incoming first years term starting!

Hi! I'm a grad, my year has quite a lot of grads but I'm friends with both school leavers and grads so don't worry about the mix! So favourite/least hmmm, in all honesty I didn't really enjoy first term that much as there's little clinical, the two topics in first term are quite dry and I couldn't see the links between them but now we've started systems and doing clinical 2-3 times a week I'm really enjoying it.

do you mind me asking how you found your accommodation? Did you just did random flat share with other students or have your own plans? Thanks!
