- I'm in the New Park accomodation (dowing student). I didn't add the location earlier for safety reasons.
Hi guys!
For todays video I wanted to share with you a little bit of my day to day and what it looked like in my first semester. Since I spend most of my days at home attending online classes or writing essays, there is not much going on so I didn't want to do "a week in my life" nor did I want to bore you to death...
My schedule is almost 90% up to me so I am responsible to handle and organise it as best as possible, it's fun, yet, exhausting. I decided to combine a few days from the last month of my semester to show you what my fun days typically looked like.
November was a hell of a month with little time for anything else but I was blessed to be surrounded by amazing ladies that keep me sane.

Hi there, Moema! I’m currently studying English for my undergraduate degree and I’m thinking of pursuing my masters in literature there 🥰 I am trying to find as much information possible to prepare myself! Wish me luck hehe 🤍 I’m officially one of your subscriber! I love how cheerful you are in the video ☺️
Hi Glorieee ! 💖
Omg, that's awesome! I had a friend from my course who actually did that and she truly loved doing both her undergrad and masters at UOE. Just follow your heart and best of luck with everything 😋♥️!!
🥺✨ & Thank you so much for the love and support!!
@@Moemaguerra omg, thank you for responding 🥰 I’m actually doing my undergrad elsewhere 😅 I’m from Malaysia hehe, going to apply for the Chevening Award to UoE ✨ I stumbled upon your video as I was searching for UoE on CZcams 🥰 Keep up the wonderful work, Moema! Love from Malaysia 🇲🇾
Tu as bien fais de mettre les baskets au final haha!
😂😂👌 Mais grave !! Always ready to run away from sh*t
I've only started year 8 but my parents have been talking about which universities I would want to go and study at and University of Edinburgh caught my eye watching this has convinced me more that I should probs go there to study
Hi Nayli 💕
Awnnn 😍😍!
I'm glad you are already thinking about universities at year 8. I should probably have done that too to be honest 😅
I think you should definitely aim for EOU, and in general for a university that you like and makes you feel welcomed 😊!
I hope you also find some other universities to be just as interesting in case the course you want to do is actually better in another uni and you don't get discouraged by it.
Best of luck to you with everything 💕😊
Hiii loving this video!! I’m moving into New Park in September 🥰 do you have any tips or any thoughts on what it’s like to live there please?
Hiii Jade !! 💕
Ouhh so cool !
I loved the place, I would recommend maximizing your location to take walks to Leith, Carlton Hill and Holyrood Park !
The accomodation also does themed games/prizes, don't miss out, you could be getting free candy.
Make sure you chat with the other students living there/ are in the accomodation group chat, some people do suggest hang outs and if they don't, you can ! :)
Enjoyyyy
Omg I just discovered this gem!! Subscribed 💞 ( Edinburgh is my dream uni cant wait to graduate so I can apply for my masters there ! Wish me luck 🥺 + if you have any tips for the application process or opinions about the uni please make a vid it would be very much appreciated !!💓 )
Swaniii💞💞 warms my heart to hear this, thank you!! It's such a beautiful city. Due to lock down I can't make much content but I have another video on my channel where I go around town like a tourist!
Best of luck for your application, I would say to really work on your essay and show the skills you have from all your previous experiences, how they can help you in this master and how this master can help you after graduating in order to get a job. You have to show them you know more or less why this master is important for your future and the importance of the degree. If you have any doubts or issues just reach out to the master application office and ask them questions, its also a nice way to show your motivation.
I really like the courses and the teachers. But then again, it's COVID and I'm taking online classes .... I can't really get the full experience nor fully capture the good and bad of campus life. But I'm very sad to be missing out, it's a great uni with so much to do and so many associations. Shame really, I hope you get the full experience 🤞✨
@@Moemaguerra thank you your comment helped me a lot !! And hope the pandemic is over in a few months so you can also enjoy your time there !!🤍 good luck and thank you for replying 💞
@@Sara-pd9zd 🥺✨ so glad it's helpful. You are so sweet, I hope so too 🤞☺️ take careeee
Hey thanks for making this video!
I was recently given an offer to the University of Edinburgh and I'm super excited to go!
Is there a particular apartment complex that you or your friends would recommend?
I'm glad it's helpful ! 😊
Congratulations for your offer 🎊
I really like New Park, it was my top choice. I know a lot of people in O'Shea and they seem to like it, it's closer to uni.
It depends of what you want to focus on, design, distance from the school, private bathroom...
There is a little bit of everything for everyone.
Hello! Love the video! Can I ask, is New Park a noisy accommodation? I'm looking for a quiet place to live.
Hi Kristina!
I'm glad, thank you :).
Ive been living in a half empty building but I can't deny that when the building was a bit more crowded in October it was a bit annoying. I don't think it's that quiet, sound isolation is relatively weak inside and outside the building.
do you have a video of the process for getting in, applying, housing, funds, etc. my friend and i are looking into it from the US
Hiii
Humm I do have my experience of my course and living in the city, I also touch on housing and entry but I don't go in a lot of depth. There are chapters so they can see if it's of any help: czcams.com/video/WTV1slZ49VY/video.html
I need some information related to Edinburgh study program and do you need to cover course work for your PHD or it's just a research degree as in eroupe
Hey ! Lovely Vlogs ♥️
I have applied to the University of Edinburgh. Any idea if campus will open by September?
Hii Gauri !
Good luck with your application✨
Well, it will depend on the evolution of the virus and the vaccine this summer. I do believe it will open up maybe later in November and fully in the second semester but that's my estimations !
Hi. For postgrads, are there any other school-based fees apart from the annual tuition fee? Also, are books provided?
Hiyaaa,
You do get access to research papers and book platforms as a student.
Our professors didn't base the course material on Uni books (alone) since Sustainability is an ever expanding and changing topic. There was never the need to buy any books but it might vary from one degree to the next.
Hello, great video! I have a question regarding the university of Edinburgh. I’m thinking about applying to a MA in Politics and it would be primarily located inside the chrystal macmillan building. What do you think about it ?
Thanks a lot!
Hello Rayan !
Ouhh that sounds super interesting, good luck with your application :)
Unfortunately, because of the current situation we don't really go on campus but most buildings seem decent (I particularly think the business school is really nice on the inside) +I happen to love the area!
The building you mentioned is right next to the Meadows and if you get a view on the park it will probably be amazing, unfortunately I can't speak on how the building looks on the inside :$...
@@Moemaguerra Thanks a lot for the answer, it's helpful! I'll try to get some pictures of the inside of the building. Have a nice day !
Nice dear. best of luck
Thank you :)
Hi! I’m applying to study a Masters at Edinburgh, and was wondering what advice you would have about accommodation. Would you recommend going into halls as a postgrad or looking for private accommodation in the city? If halls, which ones would you recommend? Thanks so much in advance! Xx
Hello Bethany,
I get this question so often and my answer is so simple. I would recommend a student accommodation, as a master student you might not have that much time to socialize and it is a simpler and faster way to meet people and meet friends of friends and just generally, network with people. It also takes away much of the stress of looking for a private accomodation and dealing with any issues that might arise. However, if you want a very specific experience in the city center in a specific area with certain friends or pets than you have to take a private accomodation.
I only lived in New Park and the only thing I did not like is sound isolation and WiFi who wasn't the best at streaming Disney+ (very WiFi intensive but still) (and yes, it is part of my priories in life😂). Overall, loved the place!
I visited O'Shea and personally just wasn't my cup of tea aesthetic wise + shared bathrooms is a no (I know you can have in-suites but the places I visited were just shared).
I tend to go for looks and then compare prices and in that spirit I think Silk Mill, Vita students, New Park, IQ Grove, Brewer's Court and Potterrow seem nice on paper and there are many more out there. I currently partnered up with Amber students who has a list of student accommodations maybe you can find something you like (those I mentioned too): amberstudent.com/places/search/edinburgh-1811029850773
I'm also making a video about my experience at the uni so I hope it will help with any other questions you have.
Good luck with everything, I really hope this helps!
@@Moemaguerra this was AMAZING, thank you so so much for your help. New subscriber here! All the best xx
@@Lloydy27 🙌 Yayyy so glad it helps ☺️
And thank you so much for the support, it means the world to me!! 😭✨💘
Hi! Loved your video!! I am currently applying to Edinburgh for my masters! I wanted to ask if you had any advice on how to strengthen your application? Thank you so much!!
♥️♥️♥️ I'm so glad thank you!!
That's awesome ☺️
I think it's important to focus on your motivation letter/essay and really show why this master is something you need for your future and how it will help you reach your goals.
You need to show transferable skills, how your past experiences work/academic (it's okay with you have little to no work experience) will help you on this master, you can also link it to your job goals. If you have any doubts reach out the the administration team tend to be quite helpful so don't be shy to email them + it shows your interest the program.
Hope this helps ♥️ Best of luck on your application ♥️
@@Moemaguerra thank you so much! You’re advice was very helpful😊
Hi which are you staying in Uni provided accomodation in this video ? If yes which one is it?
Hi Keshav !
The accomodation was New Park it was provided by Downing Students and not the university.
What do you study?
I studied MSc in Climate finance and investment Class of 2021
Great content and subscribed! Would love hear what you think of our grad school channel. Thanks!
Thank you so much !! 💘🥺
I think your channel is great, it covers a range of topics and answers so many questions so it really useful. ;) subscribed !
I need some information related to Edinburgh study program and do you need to cover course work for your PHD or it's just a research degree as in eroupe
Hi,
I didn't do a PhD. I did a masters of science and it's a research degree.
I wouldn't know the difference between EU unis since my master was radically different to my bachelors in France. I did more tests in France but I did more research based reports in the UK.
@@Moemaguerra ok thanks, but you have any idea about the PhD program ? I am just curious to know that how you spend the 3 years of your degree like is there any course work to do in the first year and the others for research or it would be only research as in most institute. If you can help me in this regard it would be great. I hope to join it at the end of this year so needed your guidance as you already spend time there
