University of St Andrews Reviews and Ratings

• In my first year, I opted to stay at university accommodation, and in my second year, I moved to private accommodation. Here, I am living as a lodger. 
• I found my accommodation through online website called spare room. 
• The rent is 500 pounds, and I have access to the kitchen, wifi, hall, attached washroom and shower. 
• Finding accommodation was very straightforward. 
• For future students, speak with your landlord, agree on terms and conditions, and sign a detailed contract. 
• My accommodation is 11 miles, I travel by bus and bus services are quite good and regular. Most of Indian students prefer to stay near by to universities in radius of 10-13 miles. 

• So, for your first year, you'll be able to get university accommodation in dorms. But after that, you are not guaranteed university accommodation.
• There is an accommodation crisis in St Andrews with the uni hasn't been able to help much. Private rentals are hard to get as there is a lot of competition and the prices are also extremely high. Because of this, some students have to live in nearby towns and commute.
• Best way to get private housing is to contact the agent companies, registering with them early enough in your first year would be best. Approaching seniors who are graduating to ask about housing is also smart. 55rent is a good company that does rentals.

• The college arranged accommodation for some post graduation students outside the town, hence I was in uni accommodation.
• My monthly rent was around ?575 per month. This was for a single room in an apartment with 5 bedrooms, one shared bath, one shared toilet and a shared living cum kitchen area. It was located in the centre of the city and was very convieniently placed near shopping places.
• I did not have to face any challenges as I got approved for uni accommodation.
• For st andrews, it is always better to go for the uni accommodation because external accommodation can be difficult to find and you will also lose out on the full uni experience.
• The accommodation was 45 mins away from the university by bus. Most Indian students stayed in St. Andrews itself.

My time at the University of St Andrews was truly remarkable. The School of Computer Science boasted an outstanding faculty who not only excelled in their fields but also ignited our passion for learning. The diverse array of learning opportunities extended far beyond classrooms, with research projects and tech-focused clubs enriching our academic journey. Beyond academics, the town's rich history and stunning landscapes provided a captivating backdrop to our studies. St Andrews is more than a university; it's an inspiring blend of history, learning, and natural beauty that makes for an unforgettable educational experience.

I got accepted for my dream course, St. Andrews offers a campus life, instead of city life, it is a stunning town with travel places around, very diverse, closer to home, a lot of extra curricular opportunities
