Hi, thought I may aswell join in as I've used this forum alot, albeit I haven't posted. I'm quite drawn to how compact St Andrews is and really enjoyed my visit to the open day. (I wore a Cambridge University jumper I had bought when I spent time there on a residential however, without thinking, which raised eyebrows sorry St Andrews!) Furthermore my college appears on the contextual applications list, thankfully! They do hair and beauty here..
