St Andrews Students - How cold are we talkin'? :)

Hello

I have an unconditional offer to study at St Andrews so I know that I will definitely be going up to Scotland soon. My parents have warned me that it is especially cold up there and only to bring thermals and turtlenecks. Can any St Andrews students or former St Andrews students confirm this or recommend what to bring clothing-wise?

Thank you! xo

It's not THAT cold, and we sure do get some good weather. It depends where you're from how much of a change it will be to you? If you're from England/Wales (I'm assuming so since you said 'up there') then it's not going to be that much of a difference. You'll definitely need a good winter coat and some jumpers for the winter, just like anywhere else.
