your video popped up in suggested videos. I love the UK and have been fantasizing about selling up my extremely dull and overpriced house and moving to Wales where I could live in a village or old seaside resort town. It will probably only ever be a pipe dream, but I've been trying to learn some Welsh anyway. If you take requests, I'm a big history fan, a lover of architecture, castles, old ruins, the countryside, and anything with an interesting story.

Hey sir, would you recommend Aberystwyth University? I got an offer and im confused
@wombatting964 ай бұрын
Hi, generally I would recommend but I don't know the specifics of your situation, depends on the course, where you like to live etc
@Topgun_NK4 ай бұрын
@@wombatting96 Hi sir, so situation is that I'm a international student from Bangalore city, India. I got few offers and I narrowed down to Aberystwyth (Msc data science),and Solent Southampton (Msc applied AI and data science) I gotta pay fees asap to start my visa process for September intake. Hence I thought to ask your thoughts on Aberystwyth. And I'm open to both the city and countryside, I assume Aberystwyth has less part time jobs.
@wombatting964 ай бұрын
You're right that Aber has fewer jobs than Southampton, but there's always something going. The uni itself employs a few students as tutors, in the cafes, as cleaners, etc, but limits hours to 20 hours per week during term time for postgraduates, but I think the visa limit is the same. There aren't a great many university level jobs for graduates however, you would have more options in a city afterwards. I chose Aber mostly because I prefer to live in the countryside, but still only 3 or so hours from Birmingham on the train. The Southampton course looks better to me because of AI but it's not my field so I honestly couldn't give a proper answer. But our new Vice Chancellor is keen on AI as far as I'm aware. I think Aber has the better quality of life, everything is campus based and the town is close so you will be in walking distance of most things. And its a peaceful town, little crime, very safe compared to the UK cities. Definitely recommend as a place to live. Accommodation is cheaper than most places, but there isn't much of it about (lots of people vs small town) I work on the uni accommodation cleaning team, and the rooms vary from old and basic to modern and expensive, but its all well managed. I know a few Indians who have come to Aber and have loved it. I wish you the best of luck with your decision. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

@@wombatting96 wow sir, I'm eternally grateful and thankful 🙏 for your valuable insights, your detailed explanation and amazing analysis! I'm truly sorry to take so much of your valuable time from your busy schedule. It was so thoughtful of you and thank you so much for your wishes, my best wishes to your masters journey as well, may you shine and come out in flying colours in your desired course and field! So sir based on my research, Between Solent university and Aberystwyth university, I found Aberystwyth gives me a free accommodation cmrt mawr is the name I guess, which is quite okay! Then part time jobs I'm happy with your amazing analysis, I guess we can find part time jobs in Aberystwyth in a month right sir? And coming to the course Aberystwyth says their course is more complex, research oriented purely into data science and you're absolutely right they don't have AI and the vice chancellor is obsessed with AI and I would say even Elon Musk and others are too! and Aber says they help the students and number 1 in students satisfaction etc... Whereas Solent university is a bit new campus near city centre in Southampton and their course is also new, hence I don't really know about the reputation of solent university but I assume it's decent based on the city Southampton and it's there for 2 decades now. Solent university also says they have a placement year, after masters which is an extra 6 months after masters but It's conditional I assume as many don't get placement or jobs on a guarantee I guess. They say, the placement year won't cost anything as they have already increased the fees about 3k British pounds to international students. Solent university has emailed me today saying, you gotta pay today or the offer will be withdrawn. So I'm dead confused sir, that's why I reached out to you and I'm truly grateful for your beautiful response and a detailed analysis 🙏 Thank you sir, have a wonderful weekend and happy sunday wishes to you sir!

@@wombatting96 thank you so much sir for such a detailed analysis of Aberystwyth, Aber uni and the life in aber! That's so thoughtful of you, I'm truly grateful for your valuable insights and your kindness sir! So which course have you opted for? My best wishes 🙏 to you as well sir!, may you shine and come out with flying colours!! I was quite happy to hear about part time jobs, so I believe we can find a part time job in Aberystwyth in a month approximately right sir? also what are food options we have sir? Are there Indian restaurants or food available? Coming to accommodation I might mostly get that free accommodation called CMRT MAWR I guess, is that good sir? A room and a private rest room I suppose, I'm not sure about the hygiene and stuff You're absolutely right sir, I completely agree with your amazing analysis!! So based on my research, Aber uni representatives and faculty said to me that their course is a bit research oriented and they would help in all sorts of ways, but you're right sir, solent university Southampton course sounds good as it has AI as well, as you mentioned the vice chancellor and even Elon Musk are quite into AI... But I'm not sure about the reputation of the solent university in Southampton, solent says they also offer placement year of 6 months after masters of 1 year but I'm not sure it's a guaranteed placement, I assume it's either conditional or internship or sometimes none of them. Aber definitely is historic and beautiful, so is Southampton city. But sir, do you feel that the solent university has a good reputation in Southampton or in the UK in general? So ultimately solent has asked me to pay ASAP by tomorrow and Aber too is askingme to pay ASAP, for me to reach this September intake. Hence I'm dead confused sir, my family also says leave soon but unable to choose between the two and time is ticking. Once again thank you so much sir, for your valuable insights, I'm truly grateful and thankful for your amazing analysis! It was so thoughtful and kind of you!! Have a wonderful weekend sir and happy sunday wishes to you sir!!
