The university is incredible, the buildings are wonderful. A lot of spaces are open to study (some of them 24h/24, 7 days/7). The professors are incredible, the classes are fascinating, and they always push you to do your best. They are always present when you need them, and everything is just perfect. There are also lots of events there and societies which allow you to know a lot of people!

As an exchange student from Hong Kong in St. Andrews, I have to say the quality of teaching in classes are very high., Nonetheless, because of student compositions that are predominantly English / Europeans , Eurocentric perspectives in classroom dynamics are quite prominent. Often times if you're from anywhere in Asia and you're the Asian in the class it makes you feel a bit inept at explaining / exploring / broaching up cultural discourses.that you find very real but others might find very vague / abstract / unfamiliar. They're also very inflexible when it comes to course load and class quota, with strange prioritization and inaccessible course fill data. No matter how early you enroll yourself in their course you'll be informed that it is full on the day you arrive and that's it, you'll have to go along with something else of a lower priority. I find this quite frustrating and it definitely lowers my impression of the university's committment to improving student experience.

I am currently a postgraduate student at St Andrew's. As far as facilities go st Andrews is pretty good, however, my experience this far academically speaking is the worst I have ever seen. lecturers have no clear standards as to what coursework should be or contain and give random advice to students. No clear instruction or mark schemes were ever provided and feedback was pretty vague. Some scheduling errors between modules appeared due to miscommunication between coordinators and instead of giving students a chance to attend the modules chosen, they basically forced us to forfeit our choice and take whatever is left no matter how meaningful or useful it will be in the career path we decided to follow. How is it that they can't communicate with each other properly and students are left to pay the price.

My experience at St Andrews has been very disappointing. I feel the university does not invest much effort into genuinely providing students with an education, but rather simply likes to protect and project their long-established reputation of prestige through whatever means necessary. Sometimes that means handing the students the exam paper as a 'mock' before the exam to maximize pass rates, or providing 'free' alcohol using money from student housing payments to increase student satisfaction scores. Ultimately, St Andrews offers a "name-brand" degree that can be obtained through minimal class attendance and effort. There is no 'continuous' learning. There is no need for understanding. There is nowhere to ask questions. There is no taking feedback and using it to improve. There are simply exams that you memorize information for, however, the lack of emphasis on ensuring students understand the exam material means that what you learn has very little applicability in the real world.

Really, there is nothing you can criticise St Andrews for. International reputation, top quality research and teaching and a wonderful environment. Standards are exceptionally high and, if you don't work, you fail or get kicked out, so you work and end up with a degree with real value. I have been to 2 other universities after St Andrews (both ranked in the top 10 nationally) and neither compares well to it. unhesitatingly recommended.

Beautiful university, great professors in honors level, lots of societies and clubs to join and very active student life, however the careers services are very poor. They don't provide much support in contrast with other unis. Socially the top of the food chain is dominated by children of the political elite, investment bankers, CEOs, corporate bankers, socialites, etc., and the environment can be tough unless you come from that world.

Here you don't learn just facts and figures. Here you learn how to look for your voice, built upon it, and express it. Then, once you go out in 'the real world' and have more access to first-hand resources (no matter of your field) you are well equipped to be critical and insightful, to look beyond the first impression

Huge strengths supporting and enhancing students' academic skills outside of the lecture theatre. Very strong community feeling. Abundance of charitable groups. Sports facilities aren't high tech and in terms of clubs there is less than what a bigger city might be able to offer, but it in no way diminishes the experience. In fact, it more than makes up for this with its quirky traditions and bonfires on the beach. Lecturers go above and beyond.

St Andrews was definitely the right choice for me. I love this little town because it fosters such a strong sense of community among the students, while having the campus integrated into the town makes it feel less stifling. If you like anything, there will be a club for it. And if there isn't, you can always make one! I love this university and definitely made the right choice in coming here.

The facilities really aren't so great, especially the sports centre is absolutely atrocious, however, the campus is so gorgeous... I had to give it four stars at least. Clubs and societies are very good, union is pretty poor actually, freshers week as organized by the union isn't too great (hit Starfields instead). Careers are very self-starter, you really need to search yourself, wi-fi is just kind of difficult and poor in general.

As a place of academic study, this university is almost faultless. The courses are in-depth and challenging, and students must put in a lot of effort in order to succeed because of the high number of very intelligent students. This can make for a very pressured environment, and indeed, eating disorders and mental health conditions are perhaps more prevalent here than elsewhere. That said, the student support team are very good (probably because they have to be). The campus buildings are mostly pretty but walking between them can take up to 25 minutes, which can mean missing large chunks of classes depending on your timetable. Socially, the university is only good if you are extroverted or good at making friends. If you struggle with this, the small town and the small university can make you feel isolated if you do not have a social life to distract you. Overall, this university is like Marmite. Whilst it can be an incredible experience for some, it just isn't right for others.

Aside from the shiny new union / fantastic range of societies and opportunities / great career prospects / academic excellence / quirky traditions / beautiful environment - the biggest selling point of St Andrews for me is its community. You can take me out of St Andrews but you can't take St Andrews out of me! Best 5 years of my life.

Such a great, cosy place to study; running into friends all over the place is definitely a recurring feature here. The various facility buildings are well equipped and suited for whatever subject it hosts and all members of staff I've come across have been welcoming and passionate about any inquiry you may have. Student accommodation is adapt and equipped to most things you may need, including various study areas and activity rooms within the dorms themselves (music room, movie room, etc.). The town itself is beautiful, with older rustic buildings and cobbled streets leading to beautiful beaches and ruins of a castle. With a gorgeous setting with wonderful traditions (like jumping into the North Sea at dawn on the first of May and a huge foam fight in the quad) and a union of the town and gown into a wonderful community, I'm definitely glad I chose to study here.

The sense of community in the quaint university town of St. Andrews is incredible. With incredible teaching, courses, staff, students and facilities, St. Andrews is a great choice. Not to mention the multimillion pound refurbished students union! I have one year left and I'm devastated I will have to leave. Once you come here you will fall in love with everything about it!
