| - Have your parents call you using YAK. Just dial 10 15 945 before the rest of the crazy numbers. It cost about $3/hour from Vancouver to call us. - Glad plug-ins/potpourri/febreeze would be awesome in those sketchy smelling Bader rooms... - Your own towel is much superior to the Bader ones. - Eat your vegetables and play sports. They deep-fry everything. Good luck staying healthy. - Find out the rate they charge on your credit card to do a transaction in a foreign currency... for example, mine charged the exchange rate plus 2.5% don't take cash off of credit cards... it's uber expensive. |
| Anne Keery's advice to Future ISCers: |
 |
| - Travel prolifically. You'll never get this chance again... Go east if you can, it's incredible. - Ryanair and Easyjet are your friends. - Take lots of pictures. Get a digital camera if you can. It makes a huge difference. - Classes: write postcards to friends/family/neighbours during class. It makes it feel less like class. Everyone likes mail. Also include threatening lines that demand return mail. - Participate whilst you can. The class sizes are pretty darn optimal. It is cool that you can chat with your profs. Most of them are pretty cool people. They're stuck in the middle of a cow field as well... they like to socialize. - Alcohol is cheaper in Spain. Bring some back with you. - ASDA 5p spaghetti rings are God's gift to students. Buy lots. Consume as necessary. They make good drunk food/study food/I hate caf food/I feel like eating food. - Talk to Simon. He's really quite a nice guy. - Make sure your hall has spirit: put up seasonal decorations, pull entertaining pranks, celebrate people's birthdays, share candy, have movie nights, have pub nights, put fwds up in the bathroom, decorate your door, make sure you know everyone's name in the hallway! |
