Greetings also from Edinburgh!(though ok, i'm not there this minute, i am there often enough) and welcome to the forums! Dare i ask, which university(if you are at one) are you at?
I understand the whole student loans thing, once you get at them SAAS are usually quick to react, so if it's an issue on there end, kick em. And yeah, if it is, SLA is worth going to, and there is films shown all week, so it might be an idea to catch some while you can, heck Ace attorney may not be anime, but i expect it'll be a fantastic watch on the monday.
Anywho, enjoy your stay, and don't hesitate to just jump into everything, if we ain't on here, we're on the chat, and vice versa.
