Must have List for Student

[Craig]

Well, our eldest niece is going to Uni in 5 weeks after getting her results today. :thumbs up::thumbs up: The family is over the moon for her...:cool:

What would you put in an emergency pack for a new Student (this is just for fun, but you might come up with something we havent thought of..:rolleyes:;))

Also - she is going to Dundee, so BURPLE you are going to be her I.T. Specialist when she is there, so I will just hand on your mobile number.. ;):yes nod: Also - keep yer hands off, or there will be a "visit" ! ! !:Whistle:

Well after just completing 4 years at University I know exactly what she'll need to get her set up for the almight 1st Freshers week :D



Bottle Opener/Cork Screw (but most of the time Lambrini has screw tops!!)
1 x Wine Glass
1 x Pint Glass
1 x Shot Glass
Paracetamol and Ibuprofen
Sick Bucket!
1 x Crate of Irn Bru to solve hangovers
Money off voucher for the local fancy dress shop - us student's don't just dress up for Halloween you know!

That's about all for now - and as Ben said, money for alcohol!!

Then again, you could just buy them really sensible responsible items such as pens, pencils, toiletries etc.....but where's the fun in that!! :p;)

(P.S. In no way am I implying that your niece will be spending the majority of her time drinking, or suggesting to her that she does!! :smilewinkgrin:)

[Craig]

so what your really saying is it's going to cost us a fortune in booze!! :rolleyes::smilewinkgrin:

Big notice board, as all students have them full of photos of drunken nights

Booze

RAC or AA membership (if she does not have a car someone will)

Condoms:eek: (whether you like the idea or not)

Popcorn:popcorn: because there is a smiley for it :thumbs up:

:eek: Moi???!?!? :Whistle: ha.. as if ;) lol

truth be told.. if she *does* break something on campus.. it probably WILL be me! ha ha ha.. :moonie:

If she's getting a laptop, wireless works over allt he campus now.. so makes sure she's got one that complies with everything on here (http://www.dundee.ac.uk/ics/services/wireless/) :cool::thumbs up:

If she's gonna be in halls.. then the lucky bugger will be in one of our brand new ones most likely.. lucky her.. with nice fast internet connection and I think they're even getting cable telly! :rolleyes:;)

What's she going to study? She'll no doubt see me in week one, either at one of the IT induction sessions.. or chasing round after some dumbass professor who's been away for 8 weeks and forgotten every password he has.. and obviously that'll be our fault ;):D

Thanks Ewan... just rebuilding a laptop for her at the moment so hopefully I'll have it all working fine before she goes away... if I can get the time.. :thud:

Yeah - she is going to be staying in halls.. :thumbs up: as for what she is studying, I have to say I haven't a clue :blush::Whistle:

She's studying biomedical science which is a bit over my head considering I failed O'grade biology:ragin: Got the bottle opener and wine cork [not that it'll be used] never known a student not to finish a bottle of wine. Would have bought the condoms last night but as I was shopping with my mum didn't seem appropriate:shut up: Keep the ideas coming the more bizzare and embarrasing the better. She'll only be a student once [I hope!]:thumbs up:
