Living in LIVINGSTON

Advantages: I live there
Disadvantages: That's an advantage?

..., with phase 2 having been completed a couple of years ago - phase 1 & 2 have a total of around 150 shops along with numerous cafes and restaurants. Phase 3 is still in the planning stage. The most recent additions have been the McARTHUR GLEN designer outlet at one end of the centre (with another 70 shops) and one of Europe's largest shops, the massive new Asda Walmart store at the other. There are also various retail parks to the west. The McGlen complex is also home to a multi-plex cinema and various bars and restaurants...the image at the top of the page is the central concourse of McArthur Glen. Other recent developments in the town centre include the new West Lothian College. Just north of the college is City Stadium, home to LIVINGSTON FC (Livi Lions). In 1995 the Edinburgh football club Meadowbank Thistle renamed itself and later moved...

Livingstone - Zambia

Advantages: interesting with a huge amount of activities
Disadvantages: can be unwise to go out at night.

...If travelling to Zambia it is well worth your while to go down to livingstone. Buses travel very regularly from lusaka and many other places for a fare fee (around $20/k100000). The journey takes about 6 hours. Obviously the main attraction is Victoria Falls, and when going I highly recommend picking up a guide and walking about the falls and visiting the 'Angel's Armchair'. This is a once in a lifetime experience and one in which you can go right to the edge of the falls and look into the famous 'mosi-o-tunya'. To get around while there there is a plentiful supply of taxis and you shuold not pay more than K30000 (one-way) to get to and from the falls Livingstone offers a diverse nightlife (by Zambian standards, which is pretty poor if your used to Westernized going out) but there are many bars with music that will go on till the very...

Review of Livingstone (Zambia)

Hotel Livingston I presume

Advantages: Nice breakfast, excellent price
Disadvantages: In the middle of no-where, no bath, wardrobe or drawers

...We needed a cheap hotel to stay in whilst visiting Livingston (near Edinburgh) for a wedding recently, and one of the hotels on the list we were given was a Holiday Inn Express. I was very impressed with the one we stayed in for KarenUK?s wedding in Bristol (incidentally the venue for the Bristol meeting in June), so I decided to book 3 nights. Whilst on the phone I also registered for their ?Priority Club?, which gave me a few benefits (more on this later). So what did we get for our money? ?? LOCATION ?? Well, despite calling itself Holiday Inn Livingston, it is actually about 5 miles from Livingston, so if you want to be near the town itself, you would be better off with the Travel Inn. It is actually nearer to a smaller town called Bathgate, but still not actually in it. The hotel is about 15 miles from Edinburgh airport...

Review of Express by Holiday Inn, Livingston

Livingston, Guatemala Central America

Advantages: Natural,peaceful,colorful etc.
Disadvantages: The town needs fire prevention equipments.

...For me Livingston is the place on hearth which is a true paradise. It is located on the Atlantic coastal area of Guatemala, Central America. The people, and the ambience in general give a peaceful feeling that enlightens the soul. While in many ways it is a primitive place. One can feel the human elements which say this is all I need to be happy. The natural environment stands still even when foreigners,or locals might want to impose the modern life of large cities, they are held back,not so much by laws, but by the nature of the place that in silence says "enjoy me the way I'm". Livngston is a place for romance, adventure and life in general. The Rio Dulce (Sweet River)a navigable fresh water river,which ends in Livingston, where it meets with the bay that connects it to part of the Atlantic Ocean,in my Opinion is the #8 wonder...

Review of Livingston (Guatemala)

Worcester University

Advantages: Accomodation, Student Union, Sports, Clubs, Library, IT, History
Disadvantages: Expense

...I've been here getting on for around a week now and I must say that I have had an excellent time so far. Before accepting the offer to go Worcester I travelled to it to investigate it and to see if it was for me. After travelling around some of the other universitys that I got into I came to the conclusion that this one was more for me conpared to any of the others. Size ********* I've found that its small which makes it quaint in my eyes and from my opinion however I find a city that is huge can be a little too big and can appear scary and overwhelming at times. Worcesters size is perfect offering up Night Clubs, Food, Shops and culture. The University was originally opened as an emergency teaching college until only recently in the last few years it has been granted the ability to become a university. This means it has being...

Review of Worcester University

The University of Birmingham

Advantages: Great teaching, facilities, opportunites and social life
Disadvantages: i am only here for 3 years, wish it could be more.

...I am a student at the University of Birmingham in my first year of the popular course; Sports and Exercise Sciences. Although it is a difficult university to get in to, there are hundreds of different courses to choose from if you are not accepted on your favoured course. Also, they are quite lenient with grades as I did not achieve the expected marks but still got in... shhh! So what made Birmingham my number one choice? As soon as I arrived at the open day and got a walk around the campus I knew this was the place for me. Not only is it one of the leading universities in the UK for my course it is a beautiful place to study with its landmark clock tower, luscious all weather pitches and modern redbrick buildings. I felt right at home here and could picture myself studying here for the future. The Campus is located in Selly Oak...

Review of Birmingham University

My University

Advantages: great place, great people
Disadvantages: new so still improving

...Introduction I have been a student at the University of Gloucestershire for 2 years now. I am on a year out, but will be going back to do my 3rd and final year to complete my Business Management degree. My time at the university has been very memorable and I am looking forward to going back and finishing my course. I have thought about whether I made the right decision choosing this university over the large number of other universities available around the country, but I do not regret the decision I have made. I have made many great friends and love the environment of the university. Campuses The University of Gloucestershire is split up into four campuses: Park, Francis Close Hall, Oxstalls and Pittville. Park campus is known as 'The Business School'. Those studying any business related courses, hospitality...

Review of University of Gloucestershire

Nottingham Trent University

Advantages: Great Uni. Fact!
Disadvantages: Disadvantages?!

...So, having just finished at Nottingham Trent University it made perfect sense to make this brief review on the place...trust me if I reviewed every aspect of life here that I've experienced it would equate to the length of War & Peace! Trent is officially the leading "new" university in the country and is predominantly a city-based campus, with two other campuses located at Clifton (about 5 miles south of the city) and Brackenhurst (a very rural campus based to the north-east). I spend three years there and had an awesome time. In my first year I was based at the Simpsons Halls of Residence, which are in the Lenton area of Nottingham. Although not the nicest area of the city, the halls were certainly some of the best. Having had coursemates and friends who were located at other halls such as Hampden and Sandby which are much closer...

Review of Nottingham Trent University

  University Life

Advantages: reputation, sports, teaching
Disadvantages: on a hill, shops + banks

...Having been a fresher here at bath for 8 weeks now I feel the need, nay, duty to write a review on the university. I've already done a freshers review on "things beginning with F" if you want to hear about how great (or rather average) freshers week was. But this is going to focus more on the university. I'm currently on a 4 year physics masters course here at Bath. -------------------- Reputation -------------------- I don't believe in league tables and all that rubbish. The trend seems to be that the more time the university spends on fiddling it's figures to make it look good, the less time it can spend on teaching. I didn't apply to Oxford or Cambridge for two reasons. Firstly, I wouldn't be able to get in. Secondly I know it would be full of people who only applied because of the name and who could succeed better...

Review of Bath University

An Overview of Oxford University

Advantages: High academic standards, reputation, university can be the best years of your life
Disadvantages: Can be seen as stuffy and old-fashioned, a lot of work, may not suit all

...Oxford University is one of the most prestigious in the world. It may be second to Cambridge in the Times league table, but really this is relatively insignificant. The truth is that there are many top quality universities, and I shall not pretend that Oxbridge is automatically superior, when in reality places like York, Durham, etc can all offer at least as good facilities in certain subjects. As a current student of Oxford University (just finished first year PPE at Jesus), however, I feel qualified to write a guide for those that may be thinking of applying, and anyone who’s just interested. I shan’t write everything here – there are separate categories on Dooyoo concerning the interview, courses, etc so I shall just try to give a broad overview here (and probably write in more detail on the other aspects later...
