Hello friends! I will be arriving to Edinburgh from Lithuania during the first week September. I need your advice. Will I be able to rent the place upon arrival. If anyone could refer me to particular agency or person who needs a roommate. I will be also looking for the job. What would your suggestions be. In addition, I would like to find Russians in the city. Are there any Russian societies or clubs around? I express gratitude to anyone who will reply to my massage.

I'm going to the university as a postgraduate student this September. I'm doubt about each accommodation type offered by the uni. as they do not have photos showing physical appearance of each room type. Can someone here advise me what's the difference between flat and standard room (non-ensuite). Since my budget is tight, which room type do you suggest for, flat or standard room? Thanks for your suggestion!

Asked by: Nititham Rakwatin

Why is it that we have to wait till July to get our results but to be able to get funding sorted for the start of the semester we need to apply by the end of June. Some of us need our results so we know what we are studying, for how long and at what level. My exam board meeting was 11th June so how does it take a month to post a sheet printed from the ISS or whatever they're calling it now? I thought one of the points of having vision was so results can go up on there, there's also the email system that's meant to be secure? Why do we need to receive our results on paper when there are other, more up to date and 'green' methods available? I'm fully aware that the Association has nothing to do with the way results are distributed but I do know that they have access to the people who do. :)

Asked by: Derek Jamieson

Is anyone from the University going to apologise for the mess that happened with the people moving to Lord Thomson from other halls? We were told that we would have to stay in Lord Bryson for two days, so we locked most of our stuff in the luggage rooms. When the day came they changed their minds and they sent us straight to Lord Thomson. We still had to wait for two days to get our stuff out of the luggage rooms though, as the wardens wouldn't take them out earlier! Also, as far as I know people who stayed in Lord Bryson didn't have access to the kitchens which is ridiculous.

Asked by: Giorgos Tzampanakis

I've been reading the Journal today and would like someone to explain to me what is actually happening at Napier SU? I was aware that there were some issues with the voting process and that there was a vote of no confidence in the current President, who is re-running so nobody can actually discuss what is going on 'cos they're all involved in the whole mess. I'm sure this doesn't affect HWUSA directly, but it's food for thought if our voting system goes down. What are our contingency plans?

Asked by: Jenny Irvine

Most of us won't even be in halls for 2 months. Do we have to pay £56.25 for 6 months on 8 Mb or £93.75 for 6 months on 16 Mb? Can't we get some packages that are just for the remainder of our time in the residences? Maybe I should just be surprised we even got the option.

Has anyone else noticed that the campus is built around cars and not people walking? The pavements just stop in lots of places, or just go around car parks. For example you walk from lectures to Lord Home Hall and pavements just stop or even at Lord Home Hall the pavement goes to the carpark and not the main entrance. Will the new residences being built have better (and safer) walking spaces?

Does vision always close down at 2am now? It was always 3 but recently it's been earlier. Can the union help in making it better, like using something else instead of vision? Soon, I hear, the library will be available for 24 hours for exam preparation but this would seem pointless if our notes online are inaccessible.

Asked by: Volunteer Oscars

It has been mentioned several times recently that HWUSA is in a poor fiscal position. As a student at Heriot Watt, and therefore in essence a stakeholder in the union - I, and I'm sure many others, would be interested to know just what fiscal position the Union is in; and what threat this poses to the services offered by HWUSA.

shuttle bus - is it still running when does it stop

Asked by: morag

Why do the computers in the Linlithgow lab have to restart at least 3 fricking times every night? I can understand needing a daily restart but why can't it all be done with one?? Having the stupid machines restart every ten minutes while you're obviously pulling an all nighter for some late/urgent/difficult bit of coursework is just irritating as something on their block list. And giving 30 seconds notice is a joke as well. Give us the 5 minutes I know you can. And while I'm ranting why do none of the computers have the up to date addons/application/whatever todisplay many websites correctly. And you don't have the power to install things if needed. I'm not trying to get youtube videos here either, I'm talking about graduate employer websites where you can't apply because the compueters won't load all of the screen. Flash games work so why not things that actually matter?

Is there any enthusiasm for an atheism society? There needs to be a group to stand up for the free thinkers here. Islam and Christianity are represented, so why not us? It doesn't seem fitting for a prestigious uni like ours not to have some sort of healthy representation. Take, for example, the provision of halal meat. This seems to have gone uncontested even though halal practices fall far short of humane treatment for animals. I read on this same board that all applicable meat in the union is halal.

Asked by: Ponderer

why does vision always mess up!? Seriously? It's definitely not the first time. It's ridiculous. A university that doesn't allow access to your course material online! What use is that? Can something please be done about this? It's not fair. I can't access the lecture notes that I was planning to revise on and can't access to tutorial questions I was planning to do! How does a student benefit from using vision if it fails to function? I learnt from past experience vision never works between 3 and 4 am (which I still think is a bit frustrating) but other than that mere hour, it messes up every now and again! A bit too often to be honest. Please fix this. Permanently!

Yarrow's vaccum cleaners got replaced without notice a few weeks back. I didn't pay any notice until today when I was hoovering and discovered there wasn't a bit of suction outta the hoover. Ended up doing it with the hose instead and after a bit more investigation discovered that the hoover was manufactured in 1992?? Are the Acomm. Services taking the piss or what? '92... that's EIGHTEEN YEARS OLD!?

Hi, this is an announcement for Heriot Watt students only. We are two students living in bright and spacious flat with 2 other flatmates very friendly (Heriot Watt University flat). Very calm placed with nice and quiet neighbours. Kitchen with all required equipment and storage space. We must go back in France at the end of May so we need to find 2 new flatmates. We would like to find 2 other students to take the room from June to 30th of August (it's possible to extend the agreement for one year). Very good placed : 5 minutes walking to the supermarket, 10 minutes of Heriot Watt University by bus, bus stop just in front of the house (4 different buses to the town center). Rent : £270 per month including internet. A good price for the quality of flat and size. If you are interested, don't hesitate to contact us : julie.baldo@hotmail.fr.

How are you improving the class rep/school officer system thats in place? As we feel whilst it has been a good idea, we havent seen much improvement in the way things are done, we hardly see our school officer (he has come into our lecture once in 3 years we have been here) and the people who are campaigning for our class are not our class reps (us essentially). So whilst its being hailed as the jewel in the unions crown at the moment, we cant really understand why.

I'm just wondering why there hasn't been any effort by the students' union to fundraise for Haiti relief. It is a huge current issue with millions left homeless, orphaned and without access to water, food and basic medical supplies. I find it concerning that there are no events and no publicity on campus highlighting this serious issue. The students should at least be given an opportunity to learn about the disaster and donate. Suggestions: A coffee house, music night, bake sale ... I guess we're all too concerned about spending those 20 quid on drinks at the pub. Too bad. Sorry about the rant.

I want to formally complain about the unfair and unjustified practice of removing the society posters from all noticeboards in Mary Burton. The posters have been stamped, signed and dated and they have been posted on designated student noticeboards, all according to the university regulation about such things. However, they have been taken off the morning after the evening they have been posted. I find this totally abusive to my rights as a student and to students alltogether. This is totally undemocratic and against the spirit of encouraging student involvement in academic and extra curricular activities. This has been a total waste of my time, effort and commitment. Whoever has done or directed this are a bunch of communists with total disregard to students, their rights and their duties. WHY is this happening? It must stop.

I'm also getting well fed up with people telling us HOW to learn - how about you let ME be the judge of how I best take in information? If I don't attend lectures, it's probably because I don't learn much from struggling to hear lecturers while the people 2 rows back are talking through the whole thing. Some people learn from readin, and in honest I'm only payig to sit the exam and get a piece of paper - what's the problem with that?

TV Licensing letters are out. It's nice that we get a red one as our first reminder... I've just phoned the number on the letter to say I dont have a telly or stream and they were fine about it. They said that they need to send someone round to confirm this. Do I have to let them in? How do they get into the buildings? Will the Housekeepers or Security let them in? How would they know if I was streaming? How can I stream with the crap internet service anyway? Cheers!

I've heard that in Mid B and C there is a curfew on visitors because they have had too many fire alarms. They are only allowed visitor between 8am and 4pm. Are the wardens allowed to create this rule? I don't think they can under the lease for the halls of residence but maybe I'm wrong. I just don't think it's fair that I can't go round to my friend's for a cuppa, a DVD or to generally socialise with them. Can you check this out and let me know. Thanks

Asked by: Momo

Hi there, I am wanting to know if there is anything could be done about the 34 bus (and could answer a related question). The 34 bus for the first few weeks was really good, it came when the bus timetable said it would and got us to uni in 30 minutes. It meant I could catch the 8.30 bus to get in at 9. However recently it seems like buses are being slowly phased out, the 34 has been stupidly slow as of late, sometimes being as bad as 45 minutes late and its not just a one off. Its consistently late by at least 20 minutes, Usually more. Its ridiculous, I now get to the stop to see a huge queue of folk at 8.15 and a bus doesnt come till 9 by which point, there is no way Im getting to my lecture on time. The fact that a 10 minute walk and a 5-10 minute wait is what I usually have to endure for a 25 bus, I am now just making that journey despite the 2 minute walk for the 34, just because more often than not its probably quicker, however I shouldnt have to resort to that! Anyway is there any way the union could help? Im sure Im not the only one this has annoyed. In regards to my latest question. Is the terminus for the 34 the stop before main reception? About 4 out of 5 of the bus drivers stop there engines there and Im sure they are meant to go to main reception. Im sure this is more of a problem for the language students than it is for me, but Im just wondering.

Asked by: Paul

Hi I have recently started driving to uni rather than use the bus. Does anyone know if students can park in car park N etc up beside the postgrad centre and the Mountbatten building. There is a sign that says permit holders only. If we are allowed to park there how do we get a permit? Thanks

Ok, I know this is brought up time and time again, but I'm starting to get REALLY annoyed! Vision, once again doesn't seem to be working on PC Caledonia. I can access it from home, however, seeing as I don't have a printer, it's not much use! I'm also sick of people not on my course telling me to use Letcurer's notes, mine don't put them up! Since I've started Uni again this year, not once have I been able to access Vision when I've needed it and the helpdesk haven't detected anything wrong with my account.

Please for goodness sake will someone get the uni to give us computer facilities which are at least usable?!? When you can actually find a free computer (which isn't often) you are plagued by a truly atrocious internet connection (both in halls and across campus) and poor choice of applications. I have just been sat in a lab for 4 hours (how I went so long without being kicked out I do not know) writing a report. Having just finished it, I went to check the word count and the computer crashed... How on earth are we supposed to function as a University with such a good reputation for computing if we continue to see such terrible inadequacies in terms of computing facilities? Rant over, time to rewrite my essay...

Anybody got their Halls deposit back yet?

Asked by: E

A common problem in most universities (including HW) seems to be the lack of feedback to students regarding assignments and exams. It seems the norm is to simply receive a grade(A,B,C,D...) at the end and thats it, which is supposed to represent everything you've learned for that whole module. Not exactly ideal for learning if you don't know where you made mistakes, missed important points, dropped marks etc. Is it down to the student to email each of their lecturers for detailed breakdown of their grades? There should really be easier access for all students to look over their marked courseworks and exam scripts.

What happens if u fail an elective And fail the resit? Will you have to take the same subject again in your next yr? I'm guessing that you'll have to take it, along with your normal subjects + electives leaving you with 1 more elective than others. But can you opt to do 2 completely new electives, giving up on the one you've failed all together? Or do you have to pass a subject once you've opted to take it?

Hi, I have an issue with the graduation fee and I'm looking for some assistance. Basically, I'm graduating 'in absentia' and as yet the academic registry have not convinced me why they need £45 from me for a certificate. I've been told the fee also goes towards the presentation that i'm not attending, the programme given out at the presentation which i won't receive (and as they know i'm not coming do not need to print) and the up-keep of the Watt Club which I had never heard of up until last week and have no interest in being a member of. I've had a reply from the registry office manager which was useless and basically said pay us or the 4 years of hard work will not be recognised and you can't graduate. I'm happy to cover the cost of the certificate but not the other stuff that i'm not getting any benefit from. I can't be alone in thinking this is unreasonable? Who else can I take this up with? Thanks

Asked by: Claire

Response to all those under the fees question (3 below this) [sorry this is a long one!] In response to the initial question: “How much are the fees for the academic year 2009/2010? Is it still £1775 or £1820?” please go to the website as previously mentioned www.hw.ac.uk/registry/TuitionFees2009-10.php as this will give you all the information you need on all courses for any year and whether you are a home student, international student, etc. There are also additional web pages and an email address. If you need any further assistance and you will also find the address at the bottom of the page which will tell you which building you need to go to if you’d rather visit in person. Some of you had comments that the University website is difficult to find information on. They are currently doing a review of their website – I don’t know when the new updated version will be ready but hopefully this will make it easier for people to search and find the information they were actually looking for. In response to the comment: “if the union spend their time complaining about issues they loose site of the bigger picture”: The students’ association consists of all students studying at HWU and we have a wide range of elected officers to ensure that we offer the best representation we can (these are equal opps, charities, societies, mature and postgraduate, black students’, environment and ethics, international, LGBT, disabled students’, women’s, among others). It is these officers combined that help us decide where the problems lie and whether something is an issue that the students’ association should be taking on, or one that can be sorted out by students themselves. The office bearers should be talking to other students, finding out if there are any problems arising within their remit that could be part of a wider issue. If they feel that there is a problem that many students are facing then they may choose to run a campaign or write a letter to the appropriate person in the uni, etc with assistance from union staff and other student officers, such as president, vp education & welfare or vp sbc. In the case of class representatives, they are trained by the students’ association education and welfare manager so that they are able to deal with certain issues locally within their school. An example of why this is important is that a problem that students have in management could be completely different to that of physics. The school officers will then be communicating with the class reps and we meet with the school officers regularly so that we can find out as a group if there are any issues affecting many subjects and we can also inform them of the main learning and teaching issues they should be looking out for. From this point, we can see if there is anything we need to be arguing for or against on behalf of all, or many, students. I would encourage any student who has an issue they wish to raise, to raise it. You never know how many other students feel the same way as you but don’t want to say that there is a problem either. There are so many ways you can do this – either on this ask a question section (as many students’ association staff and officers regularly check and respond), via email to one of the student officers, in person to a friend, student officer, through the advice and support centre in the union, and so on. Many people who don’t know which route to take will get advice from other students within a few days of putting a post up here– it is a really valuable tool to many students. As was commented, if you don’t voice your concerns or problems then we don’t know that there are any. No matter how big or small, we will try to help by either taking it on ourselves or empowering and assisting you to tackle it. The students’ association structures are changing so look out for the two “Student Voice” meetings. One is for academic issues and the other is to help direct the students’ association work on other activities. These will be open to all students so come along and get your voice heard! – You need to show us what matters to you and where our energy should be placed to ensure you get the best experience possible during your time at Heriot-Watt.

Asked by: G Singh

Been thinking recently, which often proves a stupid thing to do as it tends to raise issues which one previously would have suppressed.. What came to mind this time was the old nugget: What is life about? So what I came here to ask is; what do YOU live for? What pulls you through dread of day-to-day life? Is it a series of short term goals (such as: sure, today and tomorrow will be crammed with work, but on Tuesday we are going bowling!) or slightly more long term (such as; Sure, the next few weeks will just be lectures, lectures and work work.. But my friend is coming up in April and I have a holiday booked for June!) or very long term (sure unis dreadful; but when I get into the line of work I am aiming for, it will be worth it)? If 1) - How satisified are you with life? Are you O.K just living for small things such as that? Do you also have longer term goals? 2) Same questions as above 3) How did you find what you want to do with life? Have you always known? How sure are you? How do you feel about the fact that, regardless of how much you like or dislike the job you will eventually get, you will have to work some 5 days a week for, gosh I don't even know, 45 weeks a year? With only limited time to spend on what actually matters: fun, friends, helping people, family, etc? Do you have anything else you live for, other than goals? Like family, friends, a burning interest? Personally, I have no idea what I want to work with. I also know that I despise how much of my time it will eventually take up. What is currently keeping me going is that my family will come over to visit soon, and I have a holiday booked this summer. If it wasn't for that, I would pretty much slip in to alcoholism and depression (I know this sounds pathetic but I really don't care, just being open here, not expecting sympathy because I quite honestly do not deserve it: My life is probably easier than most) Also, have you ever thought about not going in to the whole career scheme and just spending your time volunteering somewhere where you are needed, where you will make a difference?

Just had an idea.. Would people here be up for a bit of a competition? My thought was, I could set up a website were you pay £5 to register. As soon as we have, say, 100 members a competition will take place featuring various things that will earn you points; like, *do something silly and have some1 take a picture of you - X points *Do an online quiz - Z points *Solve a riddle - Y points *Post a video of an impressive skill - V points Or something similar, the points is that all the elements would be fair and equally easy for every1 to win/complete. After a set amount of time, whoever has the most points win. If the membership is a fiver and we get 100 people to join, that means there will be £500 to go towards prices and maintenance of the site. (I won't take any profit! I will, however, enter the competitions.. ;) ) I have done a bit of research and first price could be something like: Xbox 360/ PS3 / Ipod Touch/ Nikon D40 / Nintendo Wii With second being: Canon Ixus 80 / 500gb external hardrive / anything else for around £120 Third: ipod, mp3 speakers, load of DVD's or something like that. I would only keep enough to cover domain/server expenses etc. Who would be interested? If enough people reply I will set it up. Refunds will be given to the extent possible if we start it up but not enough people join. Suggestions/new ideas are very welcome as well! Oh and I forgot to mention: more prices will be added if there are more than 100 people, of course! Prices collected in person, in order to confirm that winner is a student. :)

Could the Union speak to lecturers about not leaving blanks on the notes that they upload to blackboard! I’m not sure if other subjects do it but my lecturer leaves lots of blanks on the notes he uploads to blackboard, in order to encouraged people to go to class. I understand what he is trying to get at, but inevitably you are going to miss classes and that’s why blackboard was invented, to fill in the gaps from classes you missed. It’s hard enough to study without every second word being left out! I’m old and mature enough to get up in the morning and go to class when I need to, I don’t need these preschool initiatives that end up causing more harm than good! Cheers.

To those of you who are taking/did take introduction to accounting: Don't you just fucking hate the book they use? "Financial and Management accounting, and introduction"? I don't see why we use this piece of crap to be quite frank.. It over-explains _everything_ yet still manages to make it more difficult to understand than it needs to be. And, just to make us feel that little bit more retarded, the author insisted on introducting FICTIONAL CHARACTERS, used in a way you would normally find only in a childrens story, to explain things in a more "hands on" way. Complete bullshit. Pisses me off!

ok, this is a gunuine question, I would like to try to understand this, and I promise not to argue or point out if I disagree with your position. some body on one of the gun threads wrote about wanting to "excersize" his second ammendment rights - sort of carrying a gun to protect the right to carry a gun, I guess. does that extend to other rights? should we all excersize our right to free speech by standing in public and saying a lot of stupid hateful things? is that equally patriotic? what about abortion? there seems to be a right to have abortion, I don't think that abortion is a good thing, but I am glad that there is a right to access of legal abortions. should I get an abortion every few years, to excersize the constitutional right? on AAAC, there seems to be a feeling that the very act of having a huge number of citizens carrying guns in the US makes the US safe from everything. honestly, this seems to me to be magical thinking - I can't see any rational thought behind this at all. sort of like believing that if we pray that the rains will come, as far as I can see. can anybody explain this to me (and, not by explaining how 100,000 middle aged untrained men with pearl handled 45's are going to stop a column of tanks, that is not rational reasoning, I mean the concept that the very existance of firearms makes the world a better place) thank you

Any guesses as to what this might be? Me and 3 friends were standing outside the Apple store in NYC when a woman in her mid 20's (we're 19-22) comments on my friend's jeans (they were plain). Then she brings up things like football and the subway. My friend with the jeans is shy so she turned her attention to another friend. She points out the building behind the apple store and says she works there.. blah blah. She asks my friend for his number, a week later, today, he's walking out in a suit to meet her somewhere. The whole thing from the beginning was weird, it felt like she was giving a powerpoint presentation when talking to us. I'm thinking she was doing some guerrilla-style market research, that, or she's a scientologist.

I currently work at an accounting firm doing pretty well; nobody knows I even took a shot at the LSAT. I'm not sure if I want to stay at the accounting firm I work at now or keep pursuing this law school pipe dream. Is it even worth retaking the LSAT?

Asked by: l.

Over the years I've been here I've found that Liberty's in the Union is a really nice place to study during the day. There's free WiFi, music, food & Starbucks - everything you need! But this year I am utterly appauled by the behaviour of some of the students using Liberty's. When I come into the venue now I find that most of the tables are taken up by people playing fantasy card games. The venue is not huge & most times at least half of the tables - most of which have been pulled together - are being used by these students. These people are very loud, yelling about their games & often shouting across the room to other groups. They often dump their bags around the tables, causing piles which people do trip over. They also choose to sit in the areas closest to plug points which they don't use, preventing other people from doing so (Is it not possible for these people to sit at the other end of the room??). I have also seen, a number of times, a couple leave to go to lectures but leave their stuff with their friends, thus not clearing up space for other students. I have seen a number of these people here year on year so I know some must be final year students & thus old enough to know about politeness & respecting their fellow students.... I am aware that the union building is here for all students & that everyone is welcome to use the building - but should this mean that to accomodate this group of students, those of us who want to work here should be at a disadvantage? I am in no way saying that these people should be kicked out of the building but should be more respectful of the other students using Liberty's. If they were in cafe in town I doubt they would be acting the same way. The environment is unpleasent for people using Liberty's - I have seen students (& staff who come here) look disgusted at their behaviour. I've also seen people come into the room, look round & leave - even if there are free tables (not really good for any business!) I'm aware that there are other rooms in the building avaialable for students to hire for free, which are highly adequate for these games. I believe Zeros is also free for the majority of the day. I honestly hope that those users see this posting (or are directed to it). We are all grown ups now & should be respectful of the people around us.

Asked by: credit crunch

I'd like to complain once again about the quality of food we get at the uni. Not the canteen this time but the food in Georgies. Granted the pizza's are a big step up from last year and the staff who have moved up from last year are doing a great job but basically thats it. The quality of food has declined, as an example, last year I enjoyed the crispy potato skins, this year you might as well just give me a whole potato. Instead of being nice crispy finger food, that can be put in dip, its just a big chunk of potato that falls apart as soon as you try to put anything on it. The burgers and the chips are a lot drier and its a waste of time asking for melted cheese on something Its not just that though, the new staff that you have on are SO slow. Thats ok initially if there learning but it's week 4 now you would expect them to be able to do more than 1 order at a time and actually be ready with chips etc. (ie.stuff thats definetly going to be ordered during the busy periods) instead of cooking them after the rush comes in. In some of your staff the attitude sucks as well. They snapped at someone who ordered 20 minutes beforehand about being impatient when all he ordered was chips and cheese! There have been other instances when they have stopped taking orders totally after about 10 orders until they are ALL done. This isnt efficient. I suppose one of the main problems is the emphasis put on presentation this year. I mean granted, it looks prettier but when Im ordering pizza or a burger, its all I want. I dont need it looking pretty as I'm not in a restaurant I just want a quick tasty meal that I can have before I go to The Comedy Club etc. not something thats looking for a michelin star (extreme yes but it gets my point across). In making the presentation a lot better, the portions (an example again, the potato skins) have gotten smaller and for the raised prices this is simply unacceptable. Ok so /endrant but I know Im not the only person with a problem with this, just ask the number of people who wait around the food area for up to 30 minutes just for a burger.

Asked by: Derek Porter

I don't know what to do with myself anymore since I was forced to live in this country again. I can't do anything really, I'm like a waste product or something. Well I know that I'm invisible and unwanted. Even when I had a heart attack that time I had to crawl to hospital for 3 miles, nobody bothered to help it was like I was invisible and one girl just ran away and said I should die and 'minging' - a few years ago now. That's why I don't understand why when I went to back to my own country despite not being born there I was forced back because people planted evidence that forced an extradition. I don't know what to do with myself, I can't even kill myself even that's prevented. Too tired not an idea, totally bankrupted because of british people. There's nothing left, die slowly, and slowly. what horrible people you are for bringing this on me, another historical accident that will be forgotten soon. No I'm not bored either, just make this suffering stop.

Are our rooms meant to be hoovered? I am staying in Robin Smith and whilst I have no complaints about the cleanliness of my kitchen/bathroom or bedroom bin being emptied, my carpet never seems to get hoovered. I have spoken to friends at other universities who have a policy where if their room is messy, it doesn't get hoovered. For this reason I have been keeping my room super-tidy on cleaning days - and still it isn't hoovered! I'd do it myself if there were a vacuuum cleaner accessible to students, but nobody seems to know of one. Is there one I can use? Or is it the cleaner's job? My floor is still covered with fluff from when I moved in!

What do you think of the 'new look' cafe brio? I think it looks like a tip with that huge mobile bar landed in the middle of the service area and tables removed to make space for it. I understand that the University want to make money from alcohol sales but perhaps shutting down the pub and then trying to change the cafe into a pub wasn't the best idea. It seems to be geared mainly towards the needs of conference guests over what students want.

TOTAL LIARS YOU HAVE FAILED ON YOUR PROMISES!!! Talat and Liam assured me last year that RAY would be better despite my protests and that the learning process would be better because we wouldn't be 'cramming'. I've just looked at my modules and I see in real terms that what was done in 8 weeks per term is done in 6 weeks in a semester with the other 8 week module done in 6 weeks as well. But wait there's more we have 'reading days' in week 6 planned supposedly now so really it's 5 weeks or 10 weeks for two old modules? Although it really depends how sequential a module is? What happens with a 3 term module sequence? Everyone says that I'm nosense and that it won't happen but you have let me down. Maybe I should demand compensation for being robbed of tuition and having to pay more for less.

Asked by: J

I'm really pleased to see that Heriot-Watt & HWUSA are going to be pushing volunteering opportunities. However, I have also have some concerns. The funding that has been arranged through careers and external organisations seems to be only involved with International Students. All students should have equal access to these workshops, opportunities and websites that are going to be created. Only allowing International students to participate is unfair and I would go so far as to say discriminatory. The other issue that I have is that the University medals for undergraduate studies would appear to focus only on academic success. Other Universities look at all qualities of the student including volunteering etc and I think Heriot-Watt should adapt a similar policy. This would also act as a way of encouraging students to participate in volunteering.

Asked by: J

I tried to register online but there was a hold on my account. This is due to me transferring course. I've been to get the forms filled in and had a meeting several days ago where it was said that it would take 1 day to clear at most but obviously it's not. This has happened to a few people and is easily fixed, but my email's been ignored and now the enrollemnt period has past. This clearly isn't my fault as I'd done everything I'd needed to do well in advance but some member of staff has dropped the ball. Will I still be stuck with a late registration fee?

Asked by: Mackerel

Hi, I dont know if you guys will actually know the answer to this, as it is a bit of an odd question to ask here (but I have notices a few VP's and such hanging around). If not, perhaps you could point me in the right direction. Basically, I am a bit curious as to where the money I pay in rent is actually going. For example, I am paying £67.92pw or (about) £271.68pcm. That is for a room 30 minutes from town, sharing a kitchen with 4-5 other students and there is only _one_ shower to be shared between _eight_ people, we also have a bathtub but - in all honesty - who is going to use that? I have friends in Edinburgh who live in flats, some very central and some about 15 minutes by bus from p.street. On average they pay £200-215 for their rooms which are bigger and more well equipped, and they only share their bathrooms and kitchens with 2-3 other people. So, my question is, is the uni making a tidy profit on our rooms? Surely it is important for the repuration to provide good facilities for their students? All of my furniture looks to be of a cheap make from the 70s or 80s, and the only thing in our kitchen thats from this (or the last) decade is our fridge+freezer, which is actually quite nice, other than that our table n 4 stools are all old and look quite bad, and the kitchen fan is covered in grease and falling apart! So, in short, where is our rent actually going? Are there any figures that us students have access to? Sorry about the rant! I like the uni, just not the rooms! :) Thanks.

This I have done and I was surprised to receive a reply from EBS recently rejecting my application, reason being I have NEVER studied Finance even though I am a professionally qualified accountant and banker with a Financial Services degree as well. All my qualifications are from the UK (ACCA, CIB and Manchester U). I am totally at a loss as to how this decision was reached that there was "no Finance coverage" in all my qualifications. Needless to say I am totally dissatisfied with this decision and I would like to ask for an independent review. I would like to ask how the Students Association can assist me in my appeal to ensure that I get a fair, proper and objective evaluation by the Exemptions Committee and that my rights have not been infringed. As I am based overseas, I would welcome any assistance you can offer me. If need be, we can communicate seperately through e-mail where I can better provide you with fuller information. Let me know.

Do you think a college system could work for Heriot-Watt and help to overcome some of the community and apathy issues we currently face? I don't event think it needs to be a total commitment to a college system but rather a better 'house' system that you may have seen in school. From monitoring these forums and speaking to people on campus most people have a strong alliance to the first hall they stayed in on campus. Could we not harness this and get a great competitive, community atmosphere going on? See which 'house/college' raises the most for charity etc. Just a suggestion - what do you think.
