Hi all, my daughter is studying at St. Andrews in Scotland starting in the end of January. She will be in a dorm. Dumb questions: how do you handle bedding and towels? Just buy when you get there? Have shipped?
How do you deal with prescriptions over there? We are sending her with 90 day supplies for the ones we can, but not all are 90 day eligible
How about doctors if she needs one? She has a few medical issues, not really serious but has Hashimotos, ADHD, takes a low dose of celexa I will make sure all of her bloodwork is up to date and she has it handy
Any other tips?

My other daughter studied in Spain, but lived in someone’s home, and it was part of a larger, highly coordinated program. it’s been 7 years since I’ve done this and I’ve got amnesia.
This daughter is doing an exchange so we coordinate all travel, and I assume, some dorm stuff?
I’ve gotten no information from her or the school so far
