Andrew Melville Hall

Hey, I havent recieved an offer yet, still hoping! However, one thing that has worried me about going to St Andrews is that i really do NOT want to be put in Andrew Melville Hall....I prefer the more attractive buildings! Anybody got any ideas how i can avoid being put there, can you tailor your accommodation application towards or away from particular halls?

Yes, if u don't tick that u prefer a single room then u r more likely to get one of the town centre ones. There are shared rooms which they put first years into in the older, more central halls. Tick for standard, catered, small halls and I would say that wld give u the most chance.
Sharing is not too bad at all. Me and my roomie aren't best friends but we still get on well and I haven't found it a problem. It's occasionally inconvenient, tiptoeing around when they're in bed already etc, but that's more than made up for by the location. I think the small central halls are generally friendlier too.

I'm in John Burnet, otherwise known as Atholl. Very friendly, social hall. Sallies and McIntosh are in great locations. Specially McIntosh if u have classes in the North Haugh science buildings (which u do with Psych- we have classes in Physics A at 12).
Just saw on the other thread that u got an offer, good luck with the grades!
