The diverse cultures and students allow for us to meet a range of people from all over the world and work with tutors and lecturers with a lot of experience and varied expertise
Staff are really helpful and supportive, the student community has such a great feel and vibe to it.

St Andrews is a beautiful town but its is so hard to get to - so if you don't mind a travelling day its perfect. Student life is small and energetic - a family feel. Courses are well respected, there is a lot of reading but it is definitely very rewarding! there are too many people attending the university for the study space it has. they are completing updates but these will not fix this problem.
- the people!! I was worried about the reputation of the uni being elite and not fitting in but everyone has been so friendly and welcoming
Based uni.
Great place to study. The staff is amazing from the lecturers to the janitorial staff everyone is so nice friendly and welcoming. Better student health services especially surrounding mental health. This uni is so prestigious and focused on keeping up their reputation that sometimes the people working or learning aren’t heard. The individual isn’t heard and appreciated as much as they should be. Sometimes we just feel like numbers rather then valued individuals in this community.
Great place to study; staff is awesome and courses are engaging. As for improvement, better health services, especially for mental health. Some of the underlying things are not what they seem: i.e. lecturers have to strike every semester just to get paid and the school can be too focused on its reputation to see the individual and their needs.

The housing issues and cost of living make it very difficult to be a student in St Andrews if you're from a working class or lower middle class family.
The small size is good for a sense of community, but the location could be less remote.
It’s great because you know everyone, but can be very expensive to live in, with not much support for less wealthy students from the university.
Difficult to get to but is a lovely place, small tho but does mean you know everyone

Great course, great community, poor student support or financial support
Town/environment is nice but night life a bit quiet

We desperately need more libraries and accommodation. Overall I like it here but those two areas make things really difficult at times.
This is very different for my two different schools. Biology have a lot more contact with students and staff in later years. Psychology don’t cap classes and have less contact with staff.
Accommodation on this town is more expensive than it needs to be
