Oh dear....by the sounds of things, Napiers isnt very good.....I thank u all for your insight, particulary vlad and that wool guy (cant remember name).
Anyway, i can see the benefits of both commuting and staying in residence. Most of my mates will be leaving perth, so this really puts me off commuting + i do want to meet new folk. But there are money issues. And if i dont go 2 napier then staying in halls/flat at abertay seems pointless as its a 20 min drive away!
