Yesterday I went up to Edinburgh to look round the accomodation options. William Hague was on the plane too, although I doubt he was going to look at Pollock Halls
( Read more... )
Yes go for halls, I wish I had. The food will probably suck, the communal showers might be shit, you will get woken up at all hours, but I will always be sad I missed out on the social part of halls.
Saying that, I had an extremely posh brand new flat with my own personal bathroom. Which was nice.
Halls can vary though year by year as to what the atmosphere is like. But it's true, a noisy halls experience can only ever be done in the first year.
Grace's Hot Tips of First Day Halls Essentials: *alcohol *glasses *chocolate/biscuits/sweets *movies *a tv is a bonus *tons of music - don't lend! The lendees will then sub-lend and before you know it it's not even in the same building. *soft furnishings to de-prison-cell the room. *alarm clock *possibly a door stop *Rizlas *drinking games *knowledge of a decent/cheap local bar/pub/club *items of fancy dress ;) *2001 stain remover (in preparation for the damage you'll do to the carpet) *slippers (flip flops for communal facilities with dirty boys) *storage *corkscrew
from Rob, Yep Halls are cool, although today there was a sign up in the toilets saying "cum was left in the shower plug today, showers are for public use, please masturbate in private". Even worse i'm sure some people think it was me, which is rediculous as i always masturbate into the sink!

Doorstops = extremely useful. Do not, and I repeat that, do not use house bricks. They hurt when you are drunk and barefoot.
