Ultimate St Andrews Accommodation Thread

My daughter has accepted a spot in St Salvator's. She's wondering when she'll find out something about her roommate. Does anyone know? Also, her contract starts on September 2nd. Does that mean she can arrive whenever she likes from September 2nd on?

I am a returning student going into my last year, and have managed to get a place in halls. I found the form to book an arrival slot on the St Andrews website, however, due to unforeseen circumstances, there is a chance I'll have to arrive slightly after teaching starts, but the form doesn't allow this. Would I just have to email them about it?

And before anyone says anything, final year students taking my subject don't need to be in town for orientation week for anything. Anything we have to do can be done on Teams or through email.

Yes email the reception of the halls you are staying at

Has the accomadation portal crashed? I'm trying to get on there to look for updates as I need to begin planning arrival asap but it keeps saying 'indirect navigation

I'm also a returning student staying in halls, just curious did you apply to return individually and get new flatmates or with a group of friends? Thanks

Hi, does anyone know whether the Fife Park Standard rooms (for postgrads) are ensuite or if there is a shared bathroom for the 5 residents?
I assumed they would, like all the UG rooms at Fife Park, be ensuite, but reading some information on the websites again, I reckon those rooms might not come with ensuite bathrooms?

I've been trying to find room pics of University Hall Old Wing. Do the rooms all have a washbasin and do room sizes vary? Thanks to anyone who can help!

All the rooms in the university I've been in have had a sink in them, but can't say for definite about Uni Hall Old Wing, and yes, because of the nature of the building, room sizes won't be the same for everyone.

Looks like the post-grad rooms at Fife park aren't ensuite - unless you have a studio.
