We can tell which halls you’re in by the clothes you wear

They say the clothes make the man but the halls make the Fresher.

Each halls creates a different breed of fresher thats you can spot a mile off.

You need somewhere to down drinks together- the most important part of being a fresher.

But freshers are more of a tribe than they think, and their clothes are a dead giveaway to which halls they’re from.

Kincaids Court

They woke up like this, they’re flawless

Always hungover and always chilled out – living in Kincaids turns you into a lazy party animal.

You live so close to uni you roll out of bed in the morning and throw on anything.

You pretty much always have a hangover because not a night passes where you don’t end up throwing a massive party in your 12 man flat.

The queue for the toilets might be long but its a price you pay to live with your 12 new best mates.

Pollock

‘Bought this dreamcatcher in southeast asia yaaah’

Full of the edgiest kids in Edinburgh- Pollock is the place to be.

You spend a year eating more carbs in the JMCC than you will for the rest of your life. But its worth it to be part of the social hub of first year at Edinburgh Uni.

Your life revolves around whether you will be able to hang out in the Why Not on a Monday night- the perfect place to pull.

However if you don’t have edgy garms and gap year stories you will struggle to fit in when it comes to rolling a ciggie on the benches outside Chancellors Court.

Fraser Court

I wonder what its like to have a meal card….

Living in the shadow of Pollock must be hard.

You dream of what it would be like having a meal card because you are already bored of eating omelettes and pasta.

You’re trying to reach the edgy fashion levels of Pollock but you didn’t go on a gap year and you can’t roll a cigarette.

But I guess you still go to Why Not on a Monday so you’re almost there.

IQ Fountainbridge 

Did I just see someone from Napier??

Mixed halls with all universities in Edinburgh?

A concept no Edinburgh University student can really get their head round.

You don’t do much socialising because who wants to inter uni mingle?

A lot of confused freshers who spend more time studying than they really should.

Beaverbank

Hiking boots are essential

Beaverbank is the halls that no one wanted to be in.

Full of Pollock rejects and confused exchange students Beaverbank is the opposite of the party halls you thought you had signed up for.

It takes 50 minutes to walk to uni so a comfortable shoe is compulsory.

And at least you will be able to visit your new foreign friends in the summer holidays.
