What's up with St Andrews?

Hi!
I’ve just gotten a really good offer to study at St Andrews, and given high rankings reputation and sense of the place I got I'd love to go. However, I’ve come across mostly negative opinions on the forum. It's pretty much described it as a super posh oxbridge reject school.
I’m coming from London, and while I’m definitely drawn to St Andrews' academic strengths, I’d like to get a clearer picture of what the place is actually life and how it really is. I’m hoping to hear from anyone who has studied there or has more insight into what St Andrews is actually like and whether I should take the offer.
I’m trying to get some pros and cons, so any replies would be great!

Did you manage to attend an open day? It’s a really good way of getting a feel for the area!

I guess any good uni that's not oxbridge is going to be seen as an oxbridge reject school. That doesn't mean anything.
