I think you should read Secret History. So you can fall out of love with places like St Andrews University 😂

as a local, they are the weirdest students to come across in the wild

St Andrew’s is like that film the riot boys met American rich boy fraternity then added the classism of Saltburn while still keeping to the traditions of 1600s England

Unless you come from vast wealth, it really isn’t fun. Try York or Oxford instead. Oxford is unexpectedly wild, but generally not in the “it’s fine I’ll call my dad’s lawyer” way.

I’m still mad that getting my bachelors internationally wasn’t floated by my guidance counselors in high school so I could have moved abroad immediately and never had to come back to the states

Haha!! I did underground there and it truly was amazing but definitely socially cutthroat and for some reason a WEIRD number of people pretended to graduate / failed out of school and just kept acting like they were still enrolled

My son went there. Loved it and misses it. Years later he still loves visiting. Best time of his life there. 🥰

Don’t worry, dodged a bullet. I actually rejected them after being offered a place - I went for an applicant day and was genuinely met with both sexist and classist comments from the course leader. Turned down my offer immediately after that

I went to Oxford and the Andrew’s students who transferred in all had brutal battle stories (but I only know POC)

You don’t want to go to St Andrews. It’s full of hooray Henrys who all think they are better than everyone else. It had that reputation when I was at uni in the 80s and it still has it. Same with Edinburgh. It’s a beautiful town but expensive to live in.

not missing anything honestly having been a student there for the last year. pretentious people with no manners half the time, and I grew up in a town nearby.

My ex’s younger brother went there and we went to visit him and idk the vibes are sooo weird 😭😂 maybe it’s because it’s nothing like normal uni’s in the UK, but it truly feels so isolated and cult like 😂

Ignore the negative comments. It was a wonderful place to go to university especially if you’re interested in academics and appreciate the benefits of living in a small town.
