The good:
•
Amazing teaching however anecdotally this heavily depends on what department you belong to.
•
The ability to study different subjects and then decide on your honours later is brilliant for students who are not sure what they want to do - which is a hell of a lot of people
•
Lots of resources
•
Lots of subject-specific events to help enhance your learning - again this very much depends on the departments
•
transport is great, this isn't so much a uni-specific thing but more a government thing although St Andrews does provide a night bus to some of the student accommodation
•
Beautiful location
•
Rich History
•
Raisin week
•
Schwarma, Big boss, Tailend, I could go on
•
Love some of the small pubs like Aikmans
•
Everything is in walking distance
The bad
•
From my experience pastoral support is shocking, am not going to go into details because it is not my place but it has left some students feeling stranded
•
This isn't necessarily the uni's fault but the students here are on the more affluent side and as such, some people can feel ostracised. I've met a lot of Scottish people who say that St Andrews feels like the least Scottish place they have been to
•
Some of the ways that the uni has implemented measures to protect students feel very superficial and not effective, eg. Nightline
•
Some accommodation staff are just plain rude
•
Nightlife isn't for everyone - more pub-based
If I think of anything else I'll add it. I have had a wonderful time at St Andrews but not everyone does, this is the same at every uni. Some things feel preventable. I understand the limitations of the university and the struggles they have with appealing to everyone. I am very fortunate to be in a position to be able to study here relatively comfortably and confident in the knowledge that I am academically and pastorally supported. Not everyone can.
Any questions feel free to ask.

Do as I say, not as I do
- I spend much of my day telling people that.Congrats on the awards nomination by the way - if you win (which you should), can you buy a large box of something from Hotel Chocolat and share it round?

I will think about something small for everyone that hasn't given me a massive headache over the last year
