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

    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..)

    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.. Also - keep yer hands off, or there will be a "visit" ! ! !

    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


    • 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.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!! )

    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 (whether you like the idea or not)

    Popcorn because there is a smiley for it

    Moi???!?!? ha.. as if lol

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

    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

    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!

    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
