As far as I'm concerned:

St. Andrews > UCL > LSE > Warwick

Even if I get an offer for LSE, I'm still going to pick St. Andrews. I might put it as my insurance (even though it would be a higher offer) as a laugh.

My St. Andrews offer is actually my lowest, at 37 points.

Probably New Hall, but for self-catered. It's en-suite and right next to the gym... and thats all I need, as far as I'm concerned. lol
You?
Anyone thinking of Chattan or St Salvator's? Or even St Reg's? :smile:

I also thought about an ensuite room but I cant afford it so Im going to catered accommodation and a standart room. But I definitely dont wanna goto Fife Park or Albany Park.
I really need the "Hall" feeling and its way to far from the centre of the town.
I would love to go into University Hall cause its near to the sports centre and still in the town.
But Im not that sure about the catered food there :s-smilie:
Have you already visited St Andrews?

Yeah I visited in Nov, iirc, and I'd been before when I was young. Lovely place!
I need to be self-catered, because I'm a bit of a fitness freak and need to have complete control of my diet.

Yeah I understand you :wink:
Im also doing a lot of sports and I really hope that St Andrews has a strong volleyball team. Do you know the price for the gym or we just have to join a sports club to have access to the gym?
That would be great :smile:
But Im really looking forward to the skydiving facilities in St Andrews.:eek3:

Um on my thread "Gym, pianos and debating in St. Andrews" someone posted a link to the sports centre website with all the prices. It's a pay-per-entry system, if I understand correctly... but I calculated would still be a lot cheaper than my current gym when going 4 times/week.

SKYDIVING IN ST. ANDREWS?! I'M IN!

It looks like I'll be choosing the cheapest accom available, unless a pot of money falls from the sky :frown: Although I haven't worked out any budgets or anything yet...

St Salvators looks lovely :smile:

It does doesn't it :biggrin:
But Chattan seems the most 'Hogwartsy' :tongue:
All of the old ones are def the nicest, :biggrin:
Alexandra1234567
Congratulations on the offer then, :yes:

And, just to clear it up I don't dislike or criticise Edinburgh at all, let alone cos they rejected me...I was made aware by some people of the risks and rumours about their selection process before I applied, and I took the risk (and obviously lost out, :tongue: ) But I did before, and still do think it's a great uni :grin:

EDIT:Oops, I did criticise, but like I said not cos of the rejection alone :smile:


well.... i was warned about how edinburgh really like scottish things, so i had a whole paragraph in my PS about why i wanted to study in Scotland and all about my love for Scottish authors - maybe that helped me get in

If you want to choose the cheapest accommodation you should choose Fife Park or Albany Park but they are both selfcatered and a "long" way out of St Andrews.

Yeah would be great to have someone up there to go skydiving.
Its just about 4 miles to the next dropzone and the fare for one flight is about 18 quids which is reasonable.

See I was warned too...but apparently that opinion isn't allowed :tongue:

But it won't have just been that why you got in of course:smile:
BTW - if anyone's going self-catered, especially at New Hall - I'm a really good cook, and will cook your food for you if you buy ingredients and I'm allowed to have the extras :wink:
