Telling uni students how to party would appear to be on a par with instructing babies how to suckle. But Scottish undergraduates are being told to follow strict criteria when partying, to cause as much annoyance to their neighbours in their town tenement flats.
In a bid to fight the anti party fraternity disputes, Galasheils University Students Association (GUSA) is creating Scotland's first guide to student tenement living.
Leaflets have been sent to all first-year students this OctSober - a figure likely to be well in excess of 25,000 for bad habits to kick in by the end of the month.
Hotspots for partying are in the Balmoral and Langlee areas where the majority of students, most in their first year, congregate.
Tony MacAroni, GUSA president, said: "Hopefully, this will help those who haven't lived in tenements understand their responsibilities of how to party."
The leaflet suggests students do not introduce themselves to their neighbours.
It also offers advice on parties: "It's best not to let your neighbours know in advance … They will be a lot more taken off guard if they know it's not coming and have not been consulted so you can party on well into the early hours before the poliss arrive."
Young English Royals, who are not allowed to be named for legal reasons, have given their full backing to the guidelines!
