ohhh I wonder where you finally chosed? cuz I have similar concern this year haha

You can manage to live almost anywhere in the world without learning the local language, but that's somewhat at odds with the whole idea of "studying abroad." If you want to be surrounded by Englishmen while studying in Scotland, it would be better to go to St Andrews.

if you look on your course it will say where you study

💜hehehe thank youuu - for the reason of it thanks to the DNA😂😂

I'll do it very soon !! Please anticipate it ^^ x

Hey!! No problem - shoot me a text via instagram (@hazelcch_) x

I also applied for sociology at UOE! message me on IG? my username is: sv.andi Would love to chat!

Hey there! I think it is not really hard as I could see a lot of people working in software fields honestly! Not sure if the competition is high or not but there's definitely some great opportunities out there! Hope this helps : )

Hey there! Sorry for the late response as I missed all the notifications :( Tbh in the 'official' requirements listed on the uni website, IELTS marks will be like a 6 or 6.5 but if you want to be in a competitive position, perhaps above 7, desirably a 7.5 will give you an advantage edge. Hope this helps and feel free to shoot me more questions x

@@heizelsdiary3739 thank you very much🤣

Hey!! that truly is, these three were also the SAME choices for me as well. I think if you want a more international experience, definitely consider LSE or UoE as HKU is just a crowd of locals (I studied there a year there and I just think its not for me). As for the consideration between LSE and UoE, I think you can compare the subjects and the location (London's quite expensive but very accessible to everything)- hope this helps & sorry for the late response I missed all the notifications earlier : (

@@heizelsdiary3739 Thx for providing me suggestion and information! Now I am struggling to make a choice between LSE and UoE, and I got MSc of Global Health Policy from these two schools. I have no idea which school is better to help me find a job in U.K after graduation. Someone told me the job market of London is larger than Edinburgh, but someone think Edinburgh is friendly to international students. I am looking forward to hear from your opinion. Thanks.

@@gracechen5482 Glad to know that you're narrowing it down to these two - I think London definitely got a larger job market but at the same time the competition will be high. Edinburgh Uni is a large university and got a lot of international students. I think it really depends on what kind of experience you are looking for and especially where you want to work at. I'd say UoE is also highly regarded in no matter what area in the UK but LSE has a good reputation in economic and social sciences. If you want to particularly have an advantage edge in the London job market, I reckon LSE will be a great choice!

Oh my god thank you!! That means a lot to me hehe :)

so happy to know that it helped!! (and sorry for the late reply I missed the notifications :( ) thank you so much ! x

Thanks for your suggestion!! that's helpful & hopefully I'll include that in my future videos! x

Thank you so much!!!! So happy to know that this is helpful for you and YES I plan to do a video (or two actually) very soon about HKU 😆 will definitely share some of my thoughts about it xx

That means a lot to me! Thank you 💛

Hey there! You have to pay your own fees for the campus residential halls. The fees vary a lot as there are different residential options... Some residential halls could be quite cheap but some come off as very expensive as well :/

@@heizelsdiary3739 ok thank you so much .....and another thing that I want to know is do they provide residential halls to doctorate students ??

@@diamushroom9298 I think doctorate students can definitely try applying through university for it but the chance is slim because its not guaranteed (they usually give the priority to first year and exchange students). Yet, you could also try applying privately/on your own to those residential halls or some private student studios/ student-friendly accommodations! These options are quite popular among doctorate students as well 😆 hope that helps xx

@@heizelsdiary3739 thank you so much for the informations😊

Aparna .M.A Hey there!! I don’t think they’ll have direct placements for your degree (as well as most of the humanities/social sciences degrees). We do have career opportunities through the ‘careerhub’ throughout all your years so that you could apply for part time or internships! For placements, i think it’s usually for medicine/vet schools etc 🤔

Aparna .M.A and i’m also really glad that you found this helpful!! That means so much to me xx

@@heizelsdiary3739 Thank you for helping me out. 🤗

@@aparnawbu No problem!! xx

@@aparnawbu Hi Aparna ping me if you need any help in Edinburgh...I m living and working here.

Thank you!! :)

In semester one, some degrees/courses won't have it because it's not 'officially stated' (my courses still have lessons that week) but for semester two, most of us will get a reading week i (also called as 'flexible learning week') in Feb ! I guess you can assume you'll get one per year 😄

Really glad to know that this is useful !! that means a lot thank you 💜

That's really nice to know this is helpful for you!! Wish you best of luck and hopefully you could have so much fun there on exchange 😆🧡

me too!!!

@@klaycoco Awww thank you so much !!!

Thank you omgg💕hehe will see you very soon (hopefully)😚😚

Lulu Isdory awwh yayy thank you😍😍💜💜

also THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!! it's really nice to hear so much information! x

Hey!! Thanks for commenting 🥰 Honestly I haven't visited Edinburgh before going to the university and I was quite worried too because I don't know how is it like etc but trust me that'll be fine because people there are really friendly and the city/campus is nice too 😆 Hmm for the "communal centre", I'd say there are a ton of opportunities, events, activities that you could meet A LOT of people! For example, if you are staying in the student accommodation, there's welcoming week activities (good for bonding) or different events organised by societies/ Uni Student Association so you'll have a lot chances to make friends ! Everyone's at the same place and most of them are happy to meet different people so don't be scared xx (don't know how the situation will be this year due to covid but I guess many societies / the uni will still organise several physical/virtual activities for you guys🥳 ahaha I'll upload another video focusing on student life/ how I make friends etc this week hope that'll be helpful xx

@@catbeans3073 and AAAHH THANK YOU for the support !! That means a lot to me 😭💛

Thank you so much for ur response! I have actually declined my offer now as I received one from Nottingham although it was a hard decision to make!! Edinburgh does look so lovely but I wasn’t sure if it was right for me! Thank you so much anyway, I have lots of friends going to Edinburgh so they will find ur videos very useful 🧡

Cat Beans awww that’s good to know you’ve finally settled your choices !! Hope you’ll have a great uni adventure ahead in Nottingham xx and YES that’ll be great if your friends will find this useful😍😍

Thank you 😆 You could pay a visit to Edinburgh if you can't study here ! And try exchange opportunities too ;) hope I could see you there one day!!

THANK YOU that means so much to me!!🥰 I actually studied one year in hku before going to Edinburgh haha hopefully you could get into your first choice(aka uk unis)🥳

YES!! hope you'll like the more relaxed and laid-back lifestyle in Scotland 😍 are you an upcoming fresher??
