And have fun! 1 Uploaded by Edinburgh Alumni Edinburgh is a wonderful city- enjoy your time and profit as much as you can from University years. I can honestly say that my life was changed by the degree I achieved. Uploaded by Edinburgh Alumni Dear Bursary recipient, I am very happy that you will be studying at Edinburgh University. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Make the most of it. Its a wonderful University and a great city! Good luck in all respects. Uploaded by Edinburgh Alumni I hope your time at Uni changes your life. It certainly changed mine. Try out lots of activities, study and have some fun Uploaded by Edinburgh Alumni As autumn approaches each year I get a wave of warm excitement as I think back to starting my University career at Edinburgh. Enjoy it; not every day will be a barrel of laughs but stick with it; speak to folk and keep doing new things. Never again will you have so many opportunities at your finger tips. Make the most of them. And have a pint of Belhaven Best (or a cup of Lady grey tea) for me :) Uploaded by Edinburgh Alumni I was the first person from my (working class) family to go to University. My parents could not support me, so I had to supplement the small local authority grant I received by working during the holidays. Civil engineering was a 9-5 course and included lectures and practicals on saturdays. Now, no local authority grants are available so I feel obligated to support you in my old age! Uploaded by Edinburgh Alumni I hope you enjoy it and make the most of your time in the city and the University. I can't give you much this time as I have some heavy commitments this year. I hope your time on the course goes a long way to help you fulfill your potential in life. Uploaded by Edinburgh Alumni Make the most of this opportunity. Milk this experience for everything it has. Study hard and play hard. Pursue every passion and interest. You'll never have a better chance. Then when your finished, when you can, you too can give something back to your University and the city in which you spend these special years. 1 Uploaded by Edinburgh Alumni In my day there were virutally no course fees, only 50 per annum! I'm glad i've contributed to the bursary scheme and helped ensure noone is denied the opportunity of studying at the University of Edinburgh for financial reasons. Take advantage of all that is on offer. Enjoy the life but ensure you work hard as well as play hard. A good degree helps find a job and give you confidence so you can apply yourself at anything. That is what its all about. Uploaded by Edinburgh Alumni My years as a medical student at Edinburgh were hugely enjoyable (and very hard work!) - A sure foundation for all that came later. May yours be the same. Uploaded by Edinburgh Alumni Just a short note to wish you food friends, a good course and a good time and good prospects Uploaded by Edinburgh Alumni Pay it forward - We hope that, as a result of this bursary you enjoy everything that the University of Edinburgh has to offer...as we did when we attended the University. And if, 25 years from now, you are in the fortunate position to do something similar for future students, we ask only that you consider paying the favour forward.

Enjoy the experience and work hard. I wish you the very best in your chosen career! Uploaded by Edinburgh Alumni University of Edinburgh, One of the best Uploaded by Edinburgh Alumni I suppose an element of luck does come into it, in so far as you hope to find a subject which you enjoy, and in which you have talent. But merit = I.Q + Effort. Whether you like it or not you will be in competition with others who may well be more intelligent and far harder working than yourself. Motivation has to come from within, aided by encouraging mentors. The outcome of your four years at Edinburgh University may well determine the future pattern of your life. Stoicism too is a virtue.

Uploaded by Edinburgh Alumni University of Edinburgh, Satisfaction Uploaded by Edinburgh Alumni Education has changed so radically since i was at University over 50 years ago that you need no advice from me- but one aspect remains, that you will never again be in an environment whose principle interest is in you, and that you do well. So take all the advice that will be on offer- particularly on time managemnet, for example if your new to Edinburgh, prepare to fall in love for a life time.
