Toilet paper? Is that a joke? Hardly an essential to bring from America. Halls are not that stingy. And all the other items can be bought easily in St An drews

Those old people have probably lived in the town for a good many years whereas you are just another student passing through. They maybe slower but maybe a lot more respectful.

Who your adviser is is no big deal as you will hardly ever, if ever see them.

no not at all. You would be mad to buy one.

It still really annoys me when Americans call St Andrews UNIVERSITY a school. It is the UK, not America although it is easy to be mistaken in St Andrews.

I will be in New Hall in 19 days time (yay!), and I have a few questions that I hope someone here can answer.

1) it is provided
2) bring your own
3) 1 is the ground floor
4) 10 mins brisk walk

As you won't be there all the time it is far too cruel.

They are hardly going to give you a telling off for bringing your own duvet are they? lol

yes, everyone in New Hall watches TV but nobody pays so it is a bit unfair if you pay when everyone else is watching for free.

I think you'll find being from England is not as big deal as you seem to make it considering the majority of students by far are from England.

It is not 'easy' but rather as only a 5 is needed students don't feel under the same pressure to study as in higher years.I think it would also be fair to say that work is marked more generously in first year and the workload is also lighter, at least in modules I have taken.

Surely it also depends on what year you are in as some departments might not admit you for honours unless you have enough credits at end of second year. But if it is first year then just do an extra module next year.

Abertay is not a "bad" university.


yes it is

Think it is cheaper if you join the swimming club too. Think they are also able to use the St Leonards pool at selected times but not sure.
