DS going to Aberdeen uni from soft south of England - how cold is it?

[buckingfrolicks]

I took my DS to look at the university at Aberdeen last October and he loved it from the moment he clapped eyes on the city, the sea, and the beautiful campus - and this week he has - hurrah - been accepted to study there.

When we went, we had glorious weather! but now, I'm not sure whether to encourage him to take nothing but huge jumpers, winter boots and a big furry hat. Or is that overkill?

Wavell house was done up a few years ago, everything still looks in good. They have a cleaner monday-friday so I guess that helps too!
