    Watched this even though I graduated 2 years ago lol. The main piece of advice I’d give is don’t buy everything before you go as there will be shops near you or you can order online! I made the mistake of buying basically everything and it was just so unnecessary to do so. Good luck to everyone starting uni soon, it will honestly be the best experience and I wish I could go back ❤️

    For washing, I’ve read everywhere it’s cheaper to hand wash small stuff and delicates and take a drying rack. It’s for those people who are money conscious because washing can totally rack up to a lot. Where I’m going it’s £3.60 a wash and £1.70 per dry and separating whites and colours and darks is a lot when you add it up. So hand was wherever you can

    This is really interesting because a lot of the things you said you didn't use I used so much in both my first and second year of uni. The clothes rack being a big one I used it a bit in first year as our dryers were terrible and in second year our house and every student house we looked at didn't have a dryer so it was an essential.

      Inu Minu x yeah I went back to do my postgrad there! Edinburgh is a good city, it’s relatively small so everything is close by, the campus (if ur on main campus) is really easy to navigate and right next to the meadows for walks. There’s loads of good restaurants/bars. The gym at pleasance is really good aswell! The only down side is how much it costs to rent compared to everywhere else in Scotland but if that’s not an issue for u, then it’s really great!

      If your son gets the full loan amount, make sure to ask what funds are available through the uni. There is a discretionary hardship fund which gives out ~£1000 a year on top of the bursary. It’s not usually advertised though whereas the bursary is usually automatically given to the lowest income households but it is always available, usually on a first come first served basis x
