Okay, so, Heriot-Watt University, I lived on campus for one year, and I lived off campus, like I stayed the student accommodation, but there was not provided by the campus. Okay, so on campus, the thing is, I had a attached washroom, but I didn't have it, I used to share the kitchen. So the cost was lesser that was 117 pounds for per month. So and it was better in the sense that I was close to campus that was the major advantage you can say, but otherwise it was far away from the city. So it kind of I kind of didn't go enough. I involved enough because there was so far. It used to take like 40 minutes to get to the centre. So I mean it It isn't too much But somehow feels like I want to go kind of feeling a little closer than wouldn't be much of like, given that sometimes the weather's not exactly great. You don't feel you're getting out. So, but I think that's the disadvantage about being on campus. But if you're active person, right, if you don't mind the weather, and you're not an active person, you would go irrespective. So, right. I think it also depends on the person you are. But yeah, so that is one thing. The cost was 117 Pounds. So in terms of cost, also, because I didn't have the kitchen, I think because sharing the kitchen, it was 117 per month, but the room was nice. The room, so because like even in that first three months, I stayed in different rooms. But because I decided to extend my stay, like staying in it, and then I shifted to another room, but the first one was better than the second one. Off campus, it's a little more expensive one No, 125 it was a shared kitchen, I would have a kitchen to share with five others. And I had my own boss. That was I think it was better place because they were like, better proximity, like those grocery stores around and like the food places. And also it was closer, like it was midway. So it was halfway to my university and halfway to the city. So don't feel like I told you there was so much better I feel.

So Heriot-Watt, it was actually last minute decision, I must say because I was planning on going to Canada actually. And then I was going to do a food and nutrition course. Okay, but then the plan changed in the end. And then because I was interested in psychology from before, like in 10th grade and then 12. One of my close friends was joining Heriot watt University, and she told me about this university that okay, this sounds like, you know, I'm joining first year and then I had, you know, look like I saw the courses that were available in Heriot-Watt University. And that's when I thought, okay, maybe I should be going forward with psychology, because I've been wanting to do for a while. So that's how I got to go to a friend you can say

University accommodation options are available if students wish. The room charges depend on the type of accommodation the students want. Private en suite rooms, studios or common rooms. It starts at £98 per week and goes up to around £300 per week. University rooms are for one person's use and are not shared.

I chose Heriot-Watt University because of their faculty and the opportunities it offers. The teachers who teach this program are highly qualified and really helpful too. Also the course coordinators and other staff members were helpful.

I live on campus in a sharing room which has an en-suite. The room is incredibly spacious and there is a cleaning service twice a week. We pay about 5800 pounds.

It was close to home (Saudi Arabia) and my siblings also attended the university.

Campus hostel is better but some of my friends live off-campus as well in student accommodation because they go out more. There is a student accommodation called Millhouse 30 minutes away that works for students who want to go out often and live near the city.

2+2 program lets me learn and go to a different part of the world and get educated at the same time which was desirable to make me a more global person. In addition to that, Heriot-Watt was a well-known university that had good accreditation like from IMechE.
