St Andrews Applicants 2012

I thought the same as you, but I'm from the Isle of Wight. I travelled to St Andrews for the open day, it's really not as far as it would seem. Considering the ferry etc, because we flew it only took 5 hours, coincidently the same amount of time (roughly) as it took me to get to Nottingham

yay where else have you applied? camberige?

No not cambridge, they dont do joint honour courses. I've applied to Durham , Bristol, Edinburgh, St Andrews and York. How about you?



Oh really - it would probably take 5 hours if I took the train I suppose so not as bad as it seems. Just longer than everywhere else I've applied! But not really the easiest to pop home for a weekend though haha! x

That puts it in perspective I suppose. I guess I'll just have to figure out how much I want to be there x

I am moving from Portugal to the UK for uni, it'll be great to be away from home, don't you just feel like saying "Hasta la vista" to being with your parents, you know, experiencing some independence? Obviously I love my parents and stuff, but the further the better hahaha

well last year i applied to durham, st andrews, bath and warwick, didnt bother with bristol or edinburgh coz they apparently had bad student satisfaction shizz?
durhams awesome though i woulda picked it over st andrews but i really wanted a 4 year course

YES I can't wait for the independance !!! Whichever uni I go to that's what I'm most looking forward to x

Yes, I completely agree! Living at home is so stressful! I really don't know what I'll do if I don't get the grades I need.. and end-up spending another year at home.

how did it take you 5 hours when the flight from gatwick is just over an hour and the taxi from edinburgh to st andrews is about an hour? must have been a very slow ferry

I hope it is before the 15th because i really want an offer! what have you applied for?

Do you think that they make all the decisions before the 15th and then release them, or they only start looking at the application after the deadline?

Well I am nervous as hell , hoping to get an offer from St.Andrews only a week to go before they start to reply to us Home/EU boys (and girls ) Anyone feel the same?

Just wondering if any current students would advise for non-catered or catered accommodation in first year? Right now I'm leaning towards catered, just because it would mean one less thing to worry about on top of coursework.

Also, if anyone has good suggestions for accommodation near the medical school? I've stayed with my friend in uni hall and it seemed great, just wondering if there are others that I should look at aswell? cheers!

I'm a first year in catered accommodation and I find it really convenient, and it was really easy to meet lots of new people in the first week at meal times. But the advantages of self-catered (stating the obvious I know) are that you can eat when and what you want. It's really up to you to decide what you think would work best for you. New Hall (self-catered) and Andrew Melville Hall (catered) are both near the medical school.
