Milindo, I am applying to study in Aberdeen, Scotland. and I hope the everyday groceries, food and drink etc. dont cost a lot! I also want to travel around Europe, and go places such as London, Paris, and Barcelona. I wish this to happen so much. BTW thank you for posting about scholarships on your site. Subscribed.

Hey everyone, I am wondering what some of the best and cheapest way to get from London, (mainly Heathrow Airport) to the University of Aberdeen is? I don’t mind much transferring; I’d just like it to be cheap and so that some scenery can be seen too.

Thank you very much for your time!

Ah finally a scholarship in art history!! Searching a lot, and sometimes I think it is a curse for scholarship seekers in the arts (esp art history), to find a scholarship.
