The University is strong for my field, with a lot of world leading researchers. The library facilities are very good, despite being a small town there is plenty to do in terms of cafes, restaurants, shops (books, craft, fresh food etc), natural beauty (several beaches, nice architecture, botanic garden etc).

The campus has plenty of facilities and events that regualrly happen throughout the year. Rooms are rented out by clubs and societies for different things, and rooms can also be rented by individual groups even if not in a society. Overall, plenty of facilities, plenty of events to be invested in and plenty of people to speak to in terms of carrers if you are uncertain!

It took me a while to get used to the style of teaching and assessments at St Andrews but once you have that you’re able to excel at this university. I admit, it isn’t for everyone. My experience in first year was that you have to sign up to two different subjects outwith your actual degree subject. For those wanting to completely specialise this could be challenging. In terms of the social side, the uni has many diverse clubs and societies meaning there’s something for everyone and I’d recommend joining as many as possible in first year if not just to meet new people! The nightlife is pretty niche too but I loved it. The Union is great, it has a club attached for those who like that vibe or else there are other pubs/ bars around town. The aforementioned clubs and societies also put on events of their own throughout the year which are a fab time.

St Andrews is an incredible university in a very small, very picturesque town. If you are wanting a really down to earth, typical university experience I probably wouldn't recommend St Andrews, because the time you spend there will be nothing like any other university. There are no giant clubs, but the house parties and midnight dips in the north sea are amazing. You will meet some of the most insanely posh and peculiar people you have ever seen, with most of them probably becoming your closest friends. And the staff, in my experience, were just outstanding and so eager to see their students achieve the best results they could. I loved my time there, but I can guarantee you that it will be a unique experience.

I came here on a whim to do a panic Masters and, basically, it was the best decision I've ever made.

University of St Andrews is beautiful, it has the look and feel of being ancient even though though it has some newer buildings. It's situated in a small enchanting village bearing the same name and is right by the sea side. It is a tourist resort so it's like you are on holiday everyday.

Even though I was here during the Pandemic I still got to know so many people, and I really feel that the University did everything it could to help students during this difficult time. I am very happy that I decided to stay in St Ansrews and get to know the community and other students

It's a pity that I came to study abroad during the epidemic period, and I couldn't attend offline classes. But I still like St Andrews University. The teachers, staff and students are very friendly. The residents of the town where the university is located are also very friendly.

Beautiful university with excellent clubs and societies. The student experience and teaching quality is excellent. Wouldn’t recommend to someone looking for a busy, crowded city experience but for a well-rounded student experience it’s definitely the place to be.

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!
