You will almost certainly need a lab coat, but most places will have them on sale at your freshers fair. I wouldn't buy anything til you get there, unless expressly told to do so. Money will be tight and you don't want to waste any on a book or what ever that you find you don't like and therefore don't use.

Last year I spent ~£100 on books, but not until I arrived at uni. I spent about £30/35 on my dissection kit - course manual, labcoat, dissecting kit, gloves etc. I also pinched my sister's school labcoat (as we had to have two, one for dissection and one for non-minging stuff), and I think that was about it.

You will probably need a bid samurai sword like the one under your bed, but with all your excellent hand to hand combat skills you wont have to worry about bullies. Wish you all the best with your endeavours, ok

Well McGeadie, I've been studying Information Technology at StAndrews for 5 years now and I'd have to say that Cossacks and Cossacks: The Art of War are essential for any serious gamer/student. I find that the pleasure of out flanking one's enemy easily shifts any exam stress -

I have bought a few books this year costing about £100 in total and a stethescope costing something like £30 which I got a discount on because I also joined the BMA (on a student membership) we haven't been told to get lab coats or disection kits. It probably varies from Uni to uni. Wait untill you get there because then you will be told what you need ect.

Well since the library is always out of books, I have had to buy lots of books and equipment, coming to about £400.

I've bought all our recomended texts, many of which I had from my first degree, but largely cos I have a wierd phobia about manky text books - and they collect other peoples dust, which makes my psoriasis flame up!
Our libraries are well stocked - surprisingly so, I have to say! And when I have wanted to flick over a book before buying it, there's always been availiablity.
I have also bought a lab coat - thought using my Oxford embroidered one would just make me look like a tit! -

every lecturer recommends about 5 books (including some they've written..hmm) so i could easily spend more than my rent on books each term. currently have 25 residing on my shelves.. & these are all pretty much new ones i've got out purely for the 2nd year..
