This week Her Campus caught up with the lovely Colin Bathgate! Let’s find out a little bit more about Colin and his life here at Aberdeen University.

Name: Colin Bathgate

Age: 20

Hometown: Edinburgh

Year of study: 3rd

Studying: Law

HC: Hey Colin! So how have you found doing a law degree at Aberdeen University so far? What’s the hardest aspect of it?

CB: It’s been good, but challenging. I’ve enjoyed studying something I’ve never done before and something that has a lot of relevance in the real world. But the hardest part has definitely been trying to keep up with the work – especially during essay or exam time, I seem to live in the library now!

HC: That sounds tough! But don’t worry, we know how you feel! So what are your hobbies?

CB: I play the bagpipes and that takes up quite a lot of my time. I also like going out with friends and going to the cinema.

HC: What do you like most about living in Aberdeen?

CB: Uncle Sabinos!

HC: We’ll definitely need to check that out some time! So let’s take a look into the future, where do you see yourself in 5 years time?

CB: I don’t tend to think that far ahead, but I’d like to be living in Edinburgh or somewhere in Europe and maybe have done a masters, but I’ll see how law goes first!

HC: We agree it’s best to just live in the moment, Colin! Now, if you were to go on a date, where would you go and what would you do?

CB: I’d try to find out about her and what she enjoys, but for her sake something with lots of distractions so she doesn’t need to put up with my chat for too long…

HC: Don’t be silly, you have great chat! Can you tell us something nobody knows about you?

CB: I can name all of the States in the US!

HC: Now that IS impressive!!

 

QUICK FIRE QUESTIONS:

Favourite sport: cricket

Favourite movie: Kingsmen

Pet hate: People who make a cup of tea by putting the milk in first – madness!

Guilty pleasure: Ugly Heart by G.R.L

 

Thanks so much for taking the time to speak with us Colin! We wish you all the best in your degree and hope to see you playing your bagpipes very soon!
