[quote=Anonymous]A few clothing suggestions for new StA students. Several pairs of wool socks. LL Bean gumshoes or Bean boots sized to wear with the wool socks. Not necessarily lots of snow, but it definitely will be damp. Have layers of clothing. Wool sweaters, long sleeved shirts, flannel long sleeved shirts, and take lined chinos. It might be cold outside, but much warmer inside a building and layers help one avoid being too cold or overheated. Have a waterproof shell/jacket with lots of pockets.  Wool gloves. Waterproof gloves. Wool cap.

Also, men should have a coat and tie with matching pants, socks, and dress shoes. Not needed often, but good to have when that is appropriate attire. Buy a StA school tie once there.  The old school tie is definitely a thing in the UK. Women should have at least one semi-formal outfit also.

Also consider getting a small LED torch (flashlight) for use as needed at night or in early morning.

Waterstones is the main UK bookstore. Same CEO and owners as B&N, but it is a separate business. Amazon Uk offer overnight delivery if whatever to most of the UK. Tesco is the usual discounted grocery. Other grocers are usually more expensive. Get a student rail discount card. Nearest train station is Leuchars on the LNER main line and the 99 bus then connects Leuchars to StA.

Try to live in town (university accommodation is preferable) rather than the expansion university accommodation which is a 20 min bus ride away from town. [/quote]
