The facilities are great and the teaching staff and professors are lovely and very good at what they do. As with many Universities, the chief problems of the institution lie with the administration, which is often slow and cumbersome to deal with. It is also unlikely unlikely that you will be offered help from the university directly, but if you reach out you will very quickly be met with the assistance you need, even if the person you asked isn’t technically required to help you with whatever matter you’ve asked about. In short, everyone is very helpful, but you will have to ask for help. I can earnestly recommend every language program at the university aside from Spanish, other than that one outlier they are all very good and well organized. I would also recommend most programs at this university, aside from Spanish, Art History and Film Studies. The location is an optimal setting for serious academics, because the town itself doesn’t offer much of a night life; so if you need a university setting that will force you to get work done, this is the place for you. That being said, plenty of students often go out in droves to the many pubs in town and there is a very vibrant community of student societies and activities to take part in, so you’re unlikely to be bored here. If you enjoy sport, there is probably a team for you here no matter your skill level or how obscure your sport of choice is. The dance team and musical societies here are also top notch, despite this not by any means being an arts university. Within these teams and arts societies are a number of very tight knit communities, so you should have no trouble making friends either. On top of that, there are a plethora of lovely spaces to study in throughout the main town and its outskirts. I would definitely bring a car up if you can, because it’s much less of a hassle to get out of town if you have one on hand. Also, the housing market can be pretty brutal and quite expensive here, though that is a fairly universal trend recently. Overall, I would definitely recommend this Uni for it’s academics and community, but would caution anyone who needs a diverse range of options for shopping, eating, or a night out.

Expensive and competitive accommodation market. Student body can be fairly unpleasant. Fantastic university facilities (except library) , lovely old buildings that really make you feel like your studying at a good university.
Studying at the university of St. Andrews has been a challenging and rewarding experience. The facilities and community have greatly contributed to our development as scholars and a citizen of the world.
The university is really good at promoting wellbeing especially within demanding courses. I have had the chance to participate in many clubs and lots of of new experiences are accessible to anyone
Couldn't imagine going to a different uni
A fab uni with good courses and a fun town
a wide variety of experiences that has built my confidence moving forward
Definitely could be better but would recommend for prestige but not for enjoyment
Good. Very sad to be in my final year!
