Ancient sites and symbols mark this as a heartland of the ancient Picts. In the millennia that followed, no fewer than castles were planted here. And of course this majestic place has long been loved by monarchs … and by the salmon that return each year to power upstream in the fastflowing snow-fed waters of the Dee and the Don. You could call this True Majesty. Cookies are required to view this content. Change your preferences at Manage Cookie Settings.

I never once regretted choosing Aberdeen Uni. There are a number of things that make Aberdeen an amazing city for students. One aspect that surprised me when I first got to Aberdeen is the great nightlife.
There are plenty of cool bars and nightclubs in the city that are all in walking distance of each other. These places, as well as restaurants and shops, also offer great opportunities for part-time employment should students wish to earn some extra money. Personally, I really enjoyed the newly opened Aberdeen Sports Centre which offers state of the art gym facilities. There is also the aquatics centre which houses an Olympic size pool, a sauna, a steam-room, and much more.
Other students may prefer the outdoors. The beach and its boulevard offer great places for jogging and even surfing. If you feel like it, you could even bring your gear and go skiing in the nearby mountains. Training there and on campus was hard but I made great friends and got involved in a lot of races. Getting around Scotland to race and being involved in the committee made it a memorable experience.
It surprises me every year how many clubs and societies the university offers. For example, I have had the opportunity to get to know the wine tasting society and the Nordic society; and there are so many more. The locals have been great! You certainly have to get used to the accent, though. They are always interested to hear about your home country and never treat you like you are not welcome.
