Student review [#16638] for History
at University of St Andrews

I’ve loved my time at St Andrews. The town is absolutely beautiful and the tuition is amazing. I personally really liked that you can study different subjects in your first and second year, though I know some people can find this tedious if they know exactly what they want to do. The Professors that I’ve been lucky enough to have had have always been so supportive and dedicated to helping me progress. Accommodation and living-wise, it’s quite expensive for both uni owned halls and for renting in the town so a lot of people live further away from the town centre because it’s cheaper. However, it’s rarely ever more than a 30/40 minute walk. In terms of the social side, the town is small so people who want a massive club scene may not find what they’re looking for; it’s more a pub/house party kind of vibe or ‘ironic’ clubbing in our one and only club (basically a glorified room with a bar), so I would definitely suggest visiting beforehand to check that it’s your cup of tea. If it is, you’re sure to find likeminded people. All in all, it’s been perfect for me and I couldn’t imagine anywhere else I would have wanted to go to university.
