Also, in addition to all that been said about Scotland, public transport (buses only) is free for children up to age 22. In some areas in Scotland, school uniforms are free too. Lastly, if the family is on low-income, children in high school from year 4 to 6, get EMA of £30 per week (i.e. educational maintenance allowance), similarly, yearly money for buying school needs including uniforms, shoes and bags for all children from low-income family too.

I studied at University of Edinburgh and I think Scotland is wonderful! Lovely country, friendly people, great Church fellowships, etc. etc. I was blessed to have been there!
Isn't United Kingdom a country thats made up of mainland Great Britain and The Northern part of the island of Ireland? Great Britain is now divided into England, Scotland and Wales. Northern part of island of Ireland is called Northern Ireland? Just asking if I'm correct? I don't live in UK
England is a very crowded place but if you go to places like Hartlepool in the north, rent prices are soooo cheap and they are very welcoming. They’re close to Newcastle and not far from the hospitals & university there.

I would love to visit however I just watched a video in how Scotland is racist and I am a Mulato ( Mixed Black/ White) from the Caribbean and I don't feel like I am ready to face blatant racism. Any recommendations that's safe?
@@celticmulato2609 Believe all you see on social media at your own risk. I personally have not experienced any act of racism in Scotland, instead you only meet nice and welcoming people always ready for little chats.
I just had a baby in Scotland and there is the baby box which Scotland gives every child. It contains clothes, books, bed and a baby sling. There is no baby box in England Free Medication for minor issues. We don't pay for water and waste water. As students, we don't pay council tax. Scotland child care: Nursery is 30hrs for term time nurseries, and 22.40hrs for round the year nurseries, while England is 15hrs per week

@Gloria, am a hair stylist coming to Scotland by June as a dependant and am planning on using it as my side hustle but as blacks are not much in Scotland, it means it will not pay off at all What other skills can you suggest for me please
Hi Tochi, Thank you for your videos. May I request that you make a video of comparison between Northern Ireland and England? Belfast specifically. Thank you
Thank you for sharing this video please Gloria I am coming to Aberdeen in January for study, what experience can you share to me or what kind of advise can you help me with?
Tochi I love all you do, please I need an advice. I got an offer from two schools, Heriot-Watt in Edinburgh and Anglia Ruskin in England. Any advice on the better pick
They are both good. It basically depends on what you want to study. I can't speak for Anglia Ruskin but Heriot Watt is a science and technology focused research university. If you want to study that I am sure it would be a good choice. However I am sure that there are good opportunities to be had at Anglia Ruskin.
I need help o I wan come I get passport and I dey work like jarkey. I'm ready for contract. I sabi drive and I sabi house work and I sabi do business. Thank u
😂😂😂 it is the everyone thinks you are in London for me 😂😂😂. The first question I ask them is that did I tell you I am in London 😂😂😂 please you guys should change that thought. And when I tell them I am in Scotland, it sounds so strange to them, I just tell them don't worry yourself as long as they know I am not in London so they better take that thought out of their mind 😂😂. I love Scotland and would live here over and over again as long as I am in the UK ❤.
@@realhana11 be open to get jobs within and outside Dundee. Also put in a lot of efforts to getting accommodation sorted. Accommodation in Dundee is on another level.
I've been living in Scotland for a while, friendly people, accomodation isn't too expensive. But Scottish accent and weather isn't funny, you'll get used to them with time though.
Thanks for the video..Could you please tell me - which university is better, Nottingham or GCU (Glasgow)for MS in UXID programme, in terms of faculty and employment on completing course. Please do let me know. Thanks
Education funding is same with that of England but I like that you get PR within 3 years of your stay in Scotland but it's 5 years in England. You only paid back your tuition fee in England when you might have gotten a professional job else, if you didn't get a job, government pays you what they called "job seekers allowance. Racism exist everywhere indeed.
that's quite different, in Scotland it is free for citizens n residents of 3years, there is no obligation to pay back ...in England you are actually supposed to pay back all things being equal.
Comparing what I've heard in this video, the winner is Scotland for me but moving to the UK for the first time it is not a good idea to live in Scottish. The Scottish accent is another headache just by watching masterchef I just can't hear what they say lol
@@Sherifat.K-Omorodion please don't relocate to Aberdeen, in case you have a children because there's no any activities for the children besides its very expensive and depressing place to live.

Go for it. But note that Edinburgh is an expensive city to live in, being the capital of Scotland. But there are better opportunities in Edinburgh. You can go online and do a search for rental cost
You just pay for the BBC. You can get around this easily by saying you only watch youtube and Netflix or anything that doesn't stream live TV. I just send them an email every 2 years when they check up and I've done this for 17yrs now. Not paid a penny and never will.

England is winning, Gloria forget to mention that dependents don't start working until after 2 years of their stay in Scotland. I like the fact that most bills are inclusive in council tax
I don't think this isn't right, been watching Gloria's channel and her hubby works and has been working since he joined her.. besides isn't it same UK gov that issues visa to everyone going to UK, and for the dependent of students I know in Scotland there was no such clause in their visa and they actually work after landing there.
@@chukso2432 That's great. Maybe the doctor in Scotland that said her husband who is her dependent can't work until after 2 years of stay wasn't right in her claim because my husband and myself were astonished when she mentioned that to us.
England you will pay 300-400 £ a week as rent for 2 bedroom outside london. But scotland it would 150-200 £ for the same. Bills will be extra. So scotland would quite cheaper compared to england.
Scotland is overrated in my opinion. Accommodation is an issue here and it's not cheap except you live outside the 2 main cities. The weather is crazy but you will get used to it. And ofcourse, Scotland is not as lively as England. Scottish are friendly but make you dey watch your back o.
