Each year,
freshers at the Scottish university, where Prince William met
his now wife Kate Middleton when they were both students, join
so-called academic families where they are adopted by older
students for mentoring.
Several weeks into the first term, the university holds its
annual "Raisin Weekend", during which the academic parents hold
parties for the new students. The weekend culminates in "Raisin
Monday", when they dress the new students in costumes and send
them into the university main's lawn for a shaving foam fight.
