No I did not, or at least while I was doing my degree I didn't. Later on I had an offer but the did not avail that. Are you applying for undergrad or post grad?

I applied on university's website. Plus my university from where I did BSc had MOU with Strathclyde.
I will be joining Strathclyde for MSc in Mechanical Engineering..
I had question for monthly expanses breakdown in Glasgow.

W=You attended Glasgow Uni for which course?
Sorry for the late reply. Didn't know anyone had posted on this thread. I applied through one of the University representatives in Lahore back in 2008. I did my postgrad in Accounting & Finance. Monthly expenses are considerably cheaper than the rest of the UK. I'll give you a breakdown of what my expenses were at least at my time.
Rent - 230 Pounds per month for a shared flat (at least in my case). University accommodation can be very expensive, if you want to save then try finding a flat in the private sector. University accommodation starts from around 400 pounds and can go up to 600 pounds per month. The upside is that you get to meet a lot of people from around the world.
Utility Bill - approximately 80 pounds per month for electricity and 70-80 pounds (quarterly) for other utilities.
Food - 80-120 Pounds this can vary from person to person. If you can cook your own food you can really cut down on costs.
Internet - If you plan on getting your own connection 24 pounds per month for 10MB connection (prices may have reduced by now)
Traveling - There are a number of flats to let nearby Strathclyde and your commuting cost will depend on the distance from the campus, you can easily walk around with no worries and it will be a lot more fun.
The costs might be a bit off like i said. If you need any specifics let me know.
Thank you for this worthy reply.
Do you think going UK for MSc was a wise decision?
After your MSc, how was your job search?
What about Tuition fees? In their website, its ~GBP8500, what are the scholarships criteria?
It cant be 8500 GBP, that figure would have been for local / EU citizens. Should be around 17,000 GBP for international students.
For up to date information from current students and prospective students do join http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/ you might just find people applying to the same course.
For scholarship information I can't help you much. You can get an idea from the website or you can call their representative in Pakistan to get more information.
Thank you for this worthy reply.

Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming. -

if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff. -
SolitarySoldier:
Phil keeps talking about breaking barriers to gaming, making it accessible on all platforms yada yada, while killing competition and creativity at the same time. the fact that i actually believed him for a second lol

"These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things" ... seems to me that's exactly what it is

Microsoft deserves all the hate they can get. Seriously i can't explain how much i want to curse them out. -
XPremiuM:
They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.

XPremiuM:
What's the f*** is wrong with them? I mean really? Have they completely lost it? F***ing retards.

XPremiuM:
So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.Necrokiller said:
