The University of St. Andrews was the first university to ever be established in Scotland. It was founded in 1413. The university is located in the historic county of the country, Fife. St. Andrews is not only the first one of the region but also one of the oldest higher educational establishments in the world. This is the third-oldest university of the whole English-speaking world, outdated only by Oxford and Cambridge. 

St. Andrew’s infrastructure includes three colleges with a variety of institutions and departments. The acceptance rate of the establishment is incredibly low for a public university, only 8%. The tuition and fees numbers may reach $27677 for international students but are incredibly low for the local ones – only $12025. Each year, during St. Andrews admissions, the university gets more than 15,000 applications among which only a few pass.

About University:
Scotland is great. St Andrews is weird for Scotland, but a great place to be. There are no clubs. I love that, but if you're a big clubber, maybe head elsewhere.

About University:
There is a chance for everyone to have an amazing time-- whether you never leave the physics building, are obsessed with canoeing club, or can be found at Aikman's every weekday night. It's so beautiful, fun, and safe. You will fall in love here. The classes are First Class (hah) and so are the amenities.

About University:
Academically - very good. Tutors - helpful and funny. Modules - not as awesome as I had expected. Socially - quite bleh. A lot of intimidation for me, had a rough first year.. Still pleased with my decision though, and would recommend St Andrews. I just got unlucky.

About University:
little club life, but the most pubs per square kilometre in the UK for the size of the town. Amazing union societies and sports clubs. Can be quiet, like really really quiet, after a while you might go crazy

About University:
This school is known for its academic strengths, but from my experience this strength is based on old systems. Much of what they teach here is strictly academic and quite archaic- I don't hear progressive ideas in my classes. We aren't taught enough how to deal with real world experiences- if you are interested in academia this school is for you.
