2nd year student
It recently was closed due to unsafe building materials and hasn’t been open for a while.

It’s not necessarily what people associated with “uni life”, such as frequent clubbing. There’s much more of a pub culture / dinner parties, which suits me so much more.

2nd year student
St Andrews is a very expensive town, from the accommodation (which is very hard to find) as well as all other aspects.

2nd year student
You get assigned a personal tutor who you can go and speak to about any worries, as well as a dedicated med support team for pastoral care which I know other people have found to be really great.

2nd year student
The medicine building was built quite recently, so the facilities are great and really up to date.

2nd year student
I’ve really enjoyed medicine, I like the spiral approach they take to teaching it, it all makes sense.

University of St Andrews open days
Are you thinking of applying to this university?
Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.
Universities will list upcoming open days on their websites. Most will also have virtual open days; these are a great alternative if you really can't get there in person. For tips on preparing for open days, check the advice section here on The Uni Guide.
