Hi,

I am going to stay at Albany Park and I still wonder what is provided in the room/house?

Do we really have to bring things like a blanket, a pillow and utensils such as for example a grater?

I can't imagine taking all those by plane... I know you can buy bedding from the University but what about other essential things? Are there shops in St Andrews to buy cutlery, plates etc.?

thanks :biggrin:

Hehe, me too, highfive fresher! Looking forward to meeting you there :smile:

There are many shops to buy such things, you can go along the Market Street via Google Maps Steert View to see it yourself. And there's a Tesco for everything... :rolleyes:

Where are you from to come by plane? (I'm from Hungary) Sorry, curiosity... :smile:

Anyway, is there anybody, who could deal with this code? AP/0102 Albany Park What does it really mean? Thanks forward :wink:

Hi, I'm hopefully going to be a fresher this year, fingers crossed, and my boyfriend along with me. I was just wondering if he would count as a guest if he slept over as he will be part of the uni, just different halls. Both self catered btw.

Nah, it'll be fine and nobody of authority will really notice. People stay over at friend's all the time. As long as he doesn't basically move in.

Thank you, I've read it, but I couldn't figure this out somehow. Now as you decoded the numbers, it looks pretty obvious... :colondollar:

Do you know anything about house 1?

Not really, sorry. All the houses are pretty similar though.

That was my old house last year. You get comfy sofas in the common room (I know a few other houses that have chairs only).

It faces the car park (bike shed to be exact) so you don't need to go wandering around the blocks to find it. A lot of people will remember where you are if youre from house 1 :wink:

Thank you :-) he wont move in. I'm going to uni to get a degree. It'll be nice having weekends or the odd night together though

Do you mean we are gonna be housemates? :biggrin:

The slow cooker sounds interesting. Like cut off the things to the slow cooker in the morning, and when you arrives later, fresh meal waits for you, because it cooks sooo sloow. :rolleyes:

I study Chemistry, but phsyics is an equalently great subject, I love it :smile:

I have a feeling we're gonna be long walker mates too, as the science buildings are far-far away from AP. Or cycling mates..?
