Comment	Hiya, happy to help. I'm away from home at the moment, but I can send you a screenshot of a typical week in a few hours. Generally speaking, for stuff outside of your degree there's quite a bit of flexiblity - for instance, there are courses mainly aimed at people in a subject who aren't taking it as part of their degree, but there's nothing stopping you from taking the "regular" courses instead of you meet the requirements. I'm a little unclear with what you mean by "research opportunities", but there's quite a few active societies where you can work on projects with others. AFAIK credit transfer isn't really a thing they take into consideration - at most they'll be used for considering which extra courses you're able to take, and that's pretty dependent on the department. I'm not too familiar with the internship scene - I'm a little early for that - but I'm definitely seen a number of part time internships being advertised here and there. Unfortunately I can't help you too much with the accommodation - I live at home nearby - but if you're choosing one of the university provided ones I've heard murano is a fair bit louder/more party-focused than the rest so you might want to consider whether that's what you're looking for. I would say that they're both good universities, but glasgow has more in the way of prestige, and IMO glasgow is a better city than Edinburgh (plus Edinburgh can be quite expensive). If it's only a pretty small difference, I would say go for Glasgow.
