[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sign up for St Andrews shuttle.  Easiest way to get back and forth to EDI.  Town is 3 streets so you can see it in a day.  You can get a feel for the dorms which vary greatly from castles to prison shaped structures.  Be prepared to walk on uneven ground and small hills.  Plenty of places to grab food in pubs and restaurants.

One of the b[b]iggest challenges is adapting to dinning hall food if signing up for catered accommodation[/b]s so trying some of the local fare may be a good idea.

Traffic is usually light but you need to remember to look right, left, right.  [/quote]

NP - are you saying the dining hall food is bad so try local fare instead? [/quote]

Not saying it is bad, just different.  Don’t expect your typical buffet style US university dining hall.  You can see what the menus look like on a weekly basis here - https://mainhalls.mysaffronportal.com/Menus?page=2

You should expect that you DC may dine out with some level of frequency if they don’t plan to do some cooking for themselves.  [/quote]

The menu is 90% carbs??!! It’s nasty. [/quote]

Not nasty, though some dishes are oddly named to an American ear. "Sticky broccoli" is really an asian style stir-fry with meat and broccoli and vegis, for example. [/quote]
