St.Andrews how far form Dundee?

I never know how far is it actually? Is it possible to live in Dundee and study at ST.Andrews?

The website for the Byre Theatre (in St Andrews) says that Dundee is 13 miles away. Not sure about that, but considering it's taken from a place IN StA, I'd assume it's fairly accurate.

It is possible to live in Dundee and study in StA - I know a girl who was doing that this year...must have been a pain for her, though, since her (and my) classes started at 9am :motz:

13 miles? Well in my country people use kilometers so it's more clear for me in kilometers :biggrin:

1 mile is about 2 kilometers, suppose. If the classes start at 9 am. she has to get up at about 7 am. to arrive at time, am I right?
Is it really only 15 minutes ride?

Hey Dalimyr saw you are in The Sims 2 society! I'm fan of this game, it's just great!
Unfortunately I can't install it on my computer: not enough space on my disc (it's full of some stupid things) & weak graphic card. But trying to be up-to-date with the game (thanks to my friend who has a good computer for it). :smile:

1 mile = 1.6km, so 13 miles = 20.8km
A 15-minute bus ride sounds about right for a 13 mile trip.

Yup

I set up my other computer the other day specifically so I could play the game again :biggrin:

well that should be quite alright then, I go to school about 30km from home and I start at 8.30. In my case it's quite terrible though cause all of my friends live in the town I study and my last train home leaves at 7 pm. I can never stay late :mad:

. But then I live out in no-mans-land :biggrin:

. My bus ride takes about 40 minutes to 2 h. It depends on which road it takes, hence 15 min sounds a bit short. But then perhaps you have magic busses like in Harry Potter... :biggrin:

I thought the bus ride took more like 20 mins but I guess it depends on traffic and stops. I don't feel the need to go to Dundee v. often though. Usually go shopping there about once a semester and have only ever been clubbing there once and that was for the new hall x-mas party (though I'm a John Burnet girl). Also, the bus is a bit expensive considering the distance since it includes the bridge toll. Think I paid £4.10 for a return though that was when I forgot to get a student ticket.
