2. Or, if you were in a shared flat in first year, it probably looked a bit like this.
3. You'd decorate your room with a ton of posters from the Potterrow sale that seemed to go on all term.
4. Not to mention the postcards that you pillaged from the free racks dotted around campus.

And it was a genuine tragedy when Brattisani's closed in 2004. RIP.
13. You spent most of your student loan on giant jeans or Emily the Strange T-Shirts at Flip on North Bridge.
14. And you spent whatever was left on Malteser cakes from Choco-Latte on Clerk Street.
15. That's when you weren't shopping for fancy dress costumes in Armstrong's, of course.
