The Uni Guide

Hey, guys! Know I’ve been MIA the past few weeks but oh dear, so much stress! Literally spent the best part of the last week of March writing 3 essays. While imperial women, Greek theatre, and the fall of the Hittite empire all fascinate me, the stack of 40 textbooks and the library fines do not. But, good news for all my American comrades out there, I AM HOME! Yes, we’re on Easter Break and I decided to come home for three weeks - first time since I moved to Edinburgh! 

I can definitely tell you that it’s so different and odd being home but I’ve fallen back into the scheme of things, I think, and it’s nice to relax. Been definitely keeping in touch with my friends back at my other home across the ocean, though! In other news, I’ll be doing a more in-depth post about this shortly but I have a flat for next year! I’ll talk a bit more about that in the post, though. Can you tell I’m excited?! Also, it was a pleasant surprise to see the HUGE influx of questions and submissions I’ve gotten over the past two weeks and I’ll be using this break at home, while I’m not revising for exams, to get through all of them so that when I go back to Edinburgh, it’ll be a fresh start for the blog! 

Again, if you thought I’d abandoned you guys, didn’t mean to! Just been a crazy couple of weeks but things should get back into gear now. 

Cheers, Tiff

  Hi! Sorry to have left you all for so long… It’s been hectic with essays and getting ready to fly home and trying to get a job and… well, the list goes on and on. :) But I’m back! All is well, save for these three essays due in 24 hours. Cool.

  Cheers, Tiff

• Question: I plan to visit Edinburgh next week!! :) Will you be around? - Anonymous
• Answer:

  By next week, do you mean the week of the 9th? If so, I’ll actually be home by then but if you’re around anytime until this Thursday, I’d be happy to show you around! :)

• Question: is living in the UK ANYTHING like Skins? lol - Anonymous
• Answer:

  If you live in Pollock, maybe a little bit… But not the pleasant bits. Nah, I’d say for the most part, it’s a very inaccurate representation of life here which, to be honest, is a good thing.

• Question: As a freshman at uni, can you live in a flat or do you have to live in student housing? - Anonymous
• Answer:

  You can choose to live in a flat if you’d like (or if accommodation runs out  like it did last term) but generally, most freshers choose to live in student housing as it’s more sociable and generally cheaper.
