FRESHMAN PARENTS' ONLINE FORUM: ST ANDREWS UNIVERSITY
Thanks for adding me to the group. Super proud of my DD making it into St A’s. Here come the best years of her life and an empty nest for me.
Welcome! Yep, that empty nest …

Hi. I set this page up as an American parent wanting to connect with others when my youngest kid came to St A’s. Great to connect with you! PS Freshman = Fresher in the UK
“Hi” *waves*
Thanks for the add. Been told this group is a life saver for new freshman parents. Desperately want my DS to have the time of his life at St A's. He’s traveling from Baltimore. Studying International Relations. No idea about accommodation yet. Where’s best for a shy, socially awkward kid?
Hey there. DS also from overseas. Super friendly university. He’ll make friends in no time. John Logie is a great college for overseas students. Lots of shy kids wherever you go, cause ….well….Covid.
Hi there. DS also reading IR. Be great to connect. I’ll DM you ….

Lots of our YP are shy. Especially those from overseas. University is a great opportunity to shine. We’re all here to support. All best to you and your DS.
Getting a shopping list sorted for my YP. Seen mattress toppers mentioned in previous posts. How essential are they, please?
Absolute must have. My DD wouldn’t cope without hers.

Agreed. DS loves his.
Sorry. Excuse ignorance. Just joined. What is DS? DD? YP? Ta :)
(Admin)
Just little acronyms we use (LOL) DD - Darling Daughter. DS - Darling Son. YP - Young Person.
Ah. Okay. Ta. Just catching up on what I’ve missed. Looks like I’ll need to get a mattress topper for my DS, then?
