Not just raisin weekend, no balls or anything. What must they do in St Andrews? Such a small town, and to, in 4 years, not to participate once in any ball or rasin activity, hmmm. One does not need to drink to appreciate a foam fight, or being well dressed for a ball.
I concur -- balls, Raisin Weekend, the Bop -- ok, they might not be your favourite things, but they're such a signature part of St Andrews that it would be a shame to spend four years here and miss them all.
Ok, so you don't drink: go laugh at the freshers all dressed up on Raisin Monday.
You think the KK are a bunch of wankers: you can still watch the procession.
You think St Andrews traditions are stupid and its nightlife is crap: Why'd you come here in the first place?
I mean, it's your right not to participate in any of the traditions or aspects of St Andrews' social scene, but there's no need to disparage them for those of us who enjoy going to balls and participating in Raisin Weekend, etc.
