    I'm not, but I have a friend who is, and she is interesting in getting in contact with people before the course starts (just to chat and stuff) but doesn't have a TSR account, so here I am :P

    So are any of you starting CompSci at Edinburgh this September?

    This website is hardly an exclusive club! If she is interested in making contact with people before starting university in September would it not be better if SHE signed up and made the effort?

    I'll (probably) be studying MSc Theoretical Computer Science (although I'm half-inclined to switch to parallel systems). I'd love to get in touch with other new students to Edinburgh, I feel the department is so big and impersonal.

    I'm going for Electronics & Software Engineering. I'd like to get in touch with other CompSci-ish people as well!

    And I am doing exactly that :P
    Both going to start in september, and making my TSR account after reading this thread. It is a nice thing to get some connections right from start and meeting people with the same interests

    But how do we contact eachother in that case?

    Ah okay. As far as I gather they are all rather good universities. I guess it depends if you want to live in really big cities, or a smaller one like Edinburgh.
