“I have enjoyed living in Aberdeen, meeting some amazing people and had fantastic experiences like learning to ski back in 2nd year. The great travel links with the rest of the U.K mean I have been able to visit friends and family regularly while staying close to friends made at University and employment opportunities. Ever since first year I have loved being in Aberdeen with all the opportunities to experience something new or socialise – many of which I would not have had, had I gone to a University closer to home.”
