Anyone staying on during summer?

[Hennessy]

I'm signed on to stay up here during the summer and work for the university as a porter, is anyone doing anything similiar? Or for that matter is anyone staying up here at all? I know of only one student acquaintance who is, and frankly the conversation will probably dry up after a while if he's the only one I have to talk to!

Quite a few people (meaning students) normally stay up during the summer (me being one of them). Im sure you'l find lots of people to talk to!

If you disagree with anything im saying, you're wrong!....

I've stayed in St. Andrews over the summer for the last 3 years and its a totally different place to what it's like during term. It's a lot quieter and obviously it fills up with a load of golfers and tourists.

I'm staying here again for the 4th time this summer though I am yet to get myself a job!. Where are you working as a porter, DRA by any chance?

I'll be here for a good chunk of the summer. Not sure what I'll be doing for July though at the moment, will depend on job and accommodation-type things, I'm sure.

I stayed in St Andrews over the summer two years ago - it really is quite different, but can also be quite fun, if you have at least some people that you know around. You'll usually find a good few people staying in town that you know (certainly, the past few years, there have always been some of my friends here in the summer).

I will be here for a little while but moving to Dundee in July. Looking for a job or two which is proving to be fun as I am trying to be picky about getting one in something I want to do. I may give up in a bit and just beg employment from anywhere. Have stayed in St Andrews before and it really does feel different over the summer. Can get a little lonely though if pretty much everyone you know has buggered off.

Havent been assigned a ward yet, hopefully though it'll be Albany Park where I stay currently, it will be a lot easier as accomodation is apparently being provided either there or in Fife Park.

If your working for DRA/Fife Park/Albany you will most likely be posted to Fife Park to stay.


I have stayed here every summer (and all year) since 2002. I did have a brief spell in Edinburgh but comuting was justa bit too much.

I'm hoping to work as an assistant at DRA for the summer. I'm quite looking foward to it - beats sitting on my arse at home.

Apparently, three out of every four people make up 75% of the population. Amazing...

[munchingfoo]

Its an absolutely amazing job if you stay in Fife Park. The party/cameradery atmosphere is amazing. The work can suck, but you get through it with a laugh and a smile.

I shall be here in the summer, though lord knows what i'll actually be doing :-P

Working in DRA is a good laugh, better than other halls because they check up on you much less often (if at all :P). Alas, as a near graduate, i find it beneath me to have to walk out there every day for work so i haven't applied this year ;-)

You've been nothing but an angel every day of your life and now you wonder what it's like to be damned...

I'm staying, working as an assistant at DRA and hopefully living at Fife Park (as that's where I stay anyway, but I may get billeted over at Albany). I came up for a week last year and was amazed by how quiet it was, though I'm holding out for better weather this summer

I'm working at DRA as a laundry assistant, the joys!! Still, it beats Grangemouth
