View moreDuring my first semester and St Andrews, I was able to grow immensely and react to many changes in my school environment. The help from staff, especially tutors, was incredible, especially in regard to writing essays. I was new to this type of coursework required in my modules, so I was incredibly grateful to get the help I needed from office hours and email inquiries. One of the concerns I have with St Andrews is the accessibility of student help services. I know multiple students, including myself, who were going through mental health issues or crises during the semester due to coursework. However, meetings with student help services were limited, and they were not able to provide many options to seek help, leaving many students to deal with their issues on their own. One thing I would like to see improved is the resources available for students going through a rough mental period, and clear instructions on how to seek this help. Overall, the academic staff at St. Andrews are incredibly helpful and eager to see you improve, which is my favorite aspect about the school.
View moreAt sub-honours, the university’s module system feels very flexible, as students can choose modules from subjects that are not part of their degree title. However, at honours, the selection of modules available within your subject(s) changes each year. Some years are better than others. Additionally, the addition of a dissertation in your final year makes it much harder to choose modules you are actually interested in. Even with the option to not do a dissertation (an option available to joint-honours students), the student’s choices will still be restricted, as they need to do a year-long module rather than 2 semester-long modules. It becomes rather restrictive. No matter what module you choose, however, the teacher of that module will be extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about their subject and, although you may not find it the most interesting, you still appreciate the passion that they feel for it.
View moreThe University of St Andrews, situated in coastal Fife, is a wonderful place to study and live. From vibrant social life to quiet coffee shops and libraries, St Andrews has something for everyone. My favourite thing about St Andrews is the people. This quaint little town is home to lovely, kind locals that are always helpful and welcoming to students. The students themselves are also kind and create a diverse and inclusive community. There are over 150 clubs and societies that are all extremely welcoming and are great ways to make friends and connect with like-minded people and you are sure to find something new that you will love. University definitely wouldn’t have been as good an experience if I had gone somewhere other than here.
