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.

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!

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.

Great uni. Small town so You're always bumping into friends (and professors of who's class you skipped). If your into pubbing instead of clubbing this is the uni for you! The cold winters also makes you work more.

Not everyone is pompous and rich- the uni is prestigious but that does not make it discriminatory to those whose families aren’t in the top 5%. A great historic town with great professors and societies. Definitely full of character.
