Freshers' Week
Date
September 7, 2014
The past few days included going to Calton Hill, the National Monument, the City Observatory, the Nelson Monument, Dugald Steward Monument, and fun in a telephone booth.
I also settled in to my flat, what will be home for the next few months, met my flat mates, and explored campus. Currently it's “Freshers’ Week”, which is a week jam-packed with activities where you can meet new people and get some important insight about being a student here. I learned that the campus library has a cat that wanders the stacks and naps in chairs, which was quite a fun fact to learn.
One thing that I cannot get over is Teviot, which is their student union center and it looks a bit like what I would imagine Hogwarts to be like. It seems to be so much cooler of a student center than the one at my home Uni.*
