Quite an intense university even for freshers but an amazing experience with people from all over the world in beautiful surroundings. Top quality lecturers and there is a great variety of subjects for third modules
St Andrews is almost impossible not to love. The place is gorgeous.l, but despite the old facades of the buildings everything is renovated inside. Modern buildings are just as amazing, perhaps with the exception of the physics building. / One thing I'd advise people to be careful with is the fact that the university is the only one in the area and can be a bubble. Though as a big city person, I got used to it over time. If you are too bored, you can always take a trip to the nearest cities.
Lecturers who actually care. Brilliant disability services. Best uni.
I'm now going into my second year at St Andrews. It is a truly wonderful place to study with many opportunities to get involved in different societies and events from both traditional to modern. It is also a diverse place with students from over 100 countries. You find a great balance between studying and socialising at St Andrews. Keywords to describe St Andrews: friendly, diverse, traditional, historic, beautiful, and overall, excellent.
Traditions, fantastic community vibe and the unique social life in St Andrews are just a few reasons why it should take the top spot- not to mention academic success.
This is such a special university that offers each individual so much support and encouragement. I have loved every minute of my time here and it will always be in my heart.
So before i came here unlike all other keen freshers i didnt research at all about it so it was a huge shock for me as a city girl to live in a small town. I wanted to move right away and was already making my application to other bigger universities. But before i knew it i loved this place. I loved how small it is, which was a shock, and i absalotely got so used to the simple small, fancy, "posh" with horrible weather little town
I took a risk and arrived at St Andrews without ever having visited the uni. It was proby the best decision of my life - such a friendly, positive environment in which to study and socialise.
lovely small town, with best environment to study. INCREDIBLE pubs
It's a great university which, teaches you to look at the world from different perspectives . This helps us to open our minds and think beyond the usual .
The absolute best decision I ever made was to apply here. Amazing people, incredible opportunities and world leading education. I want to never leave!
Excellent place and the people are amazing. Its the place to go if you want to excel and keep your heart in the right place. Grow yourself intellectually and raise your virtues.
there are a lot of things I hate about being at St. Andrews but they are nothing to do with the university itself and everything to do with the weather - if you can deal with whiplash meteorology there's not better place to be.
If you're looking for an oxford sub then St Andrews delivers on the social side. One of the most socially elite universities in the country- maybe even more elite than oxbridge. However academically and structurally it leaves a lot to be desired- no one to one tutorials- first year feels like a levels- the domination of the Kate Kennedy Club is somewhat annoying- there is a lack of a left wing movement most universities have at the moment- this is both a bad and a god thing. It allows St Andrews to be very independent and free thinking but also gives ground to a tory consensus that feels of kilter- if not charming. But also problematic. The nightlife is closeknit and lovely but also suffocating. The sports are excellent. The housing awful. The creative groups small and intense because of their rarity thought this lends them a specialness. The academic family is a great institution which allows you to break out of the monitinity of hall- and get to meet third years.
Wonderful place, highly recommended for anyone who enjoys a small town University.
International Relations at St Andrews. On point.
As a first year had the best experience ever. Living in halls is essential in getting adjusted to university life, would recommend to all.
The best uni in the UK by a mile!
I have just finished my first year at St Andrews and I love it. The town is beautiful and the people are so welcoming. The academics are well taught and our tutorials are very interesting. There is truly never a dull moment during the academ year and I am so glad that I decided to study here!
Best decision I ever made. Beautiful uni, world class teaching and such a diverse range of students. Can't go wrong. It's amazing.
perfect town, hugely international, academic powerhouse
St Andrews is such an amazing place with a great community and gives me a fantastic education!
Offers the greatest balance between the opportunity to develop as person and as an academic.
Fantastic place. I wouldn't want to be studying anywhere else. It's such a close knit environment so you get to know your lecturers well and are much closer to the world class research.
A unique university in a beautiful picturesque setting with plenty of extra-curricular opportunities available. It's a joy to study here!
St Andrews is the perfect place. An incredible mix of students, a perfect mix of both academic and extra curricular activities!
A wonderful university providing a niche experience for students to live beside the east coast of Scotland in a tight-knit community with extraordinary events and countless opportunities
Fantastic university, couldn't ask for a better balance between academic and social life.
A really great university, great sports facilities that are only getting better! And really great academic staff!
