He had Aspergers and is not very socially adroit so I am a,bit concerned about the social mix limiting his opportunities to make friends (or meet a lovely girlfriend!) Dd''s cousin and a few of her friends study there and absolutely love the place. If you have to ask whether or not St Andrews is prestigious then I suspect you move in social circles where this is irrelevant. Bet you write your diss about a poem, you nerd. St Andrews is highly regarded and prestigious. She found the atmosphere and the lecturers unfriendly and elitist. It would not be just one 10 hour drive to get stuff up to Scotland vs one flight.As I mentioned, my Mum went and certainly wasn't from a monied background, DD is less than privileged, she's currently a 'looked after child'. At one point she was looking at living in a static caravan in the middle of nowhere.

And while there are a lot of yahs, there are also a lot of normal people who just get on with it quietly My DD is just finishing her first semester and she is loving it. The students I know who went to Scottish universities flew home quite a bit. Bride has suggested university halls but I'm not sure how suitable they are for kids and paying for two rooms starts to add up fast too. From Mumsnet to Onlyfans: The best and wildest diss topics from this year . I didn't have very many contact hours and tutors changed all the time, while the lecturers were alternately too busy with their research and disappearing on sabbaticals. Talk widget showing discussions of the day & trending threads It's well regarded for getting into the city, but the cultural capital part of that shouldn't be ignored. Dd''s cousin and a few of her friends study there and absolutely love the place. I am actually wondering if anyone much pairs up at university now. Anecdotally, my parents' friends from St Andrews from the Forties (several of whom were our godparents) seemed a markedly more intelligent bunch than the crowd I knew in London in the Eighties, though the latter were markedly more rah. My observations about teaching quality etc are probably now very out of date, but what I would say is that although I chose Edinburgh in the end and enjoyed my time there, I would have benefitted much more from the better pastoral care at St Andrews and fewer distractions.
I guess we moved in very different circles and only collided at lectures and tutorials. 3nationsfamily Sun 12-Feb-17 21:57:23. I don't get any sense that they're looking but of course things may change (I hope not - I really, really like all the partners!). It’s small, pretty, posh and with little to do. However, it's in a pretty small town, dominated by very posh people and pretty remote from anywhere else by public transport.To comment on this thread you need to create a Mumsnet account. You will get the offensive posh and the non offensive posh at any university. I had a choice between St Andrews and Edinburgh a very long time ago when I went to uni. I'm from a below average background - poor town, first in my family to go to university - and knew a lot of people from similar situations.I think the difference with Cambridge is that, even if you had a bought-for-you secondary education, you still have to be very bright and hard-working to get there AND stay there.
My dd is there and loves it despite dressing from Primark I loved my first two years. Prestigious? I've never been though so happy to stand corrected! The pastoral care is very good - DD has a "family". But that was a long time ago- it may not be quite as closed and insular as it was then DS2 wants to go, there's a particular combination of subjects he wants to do available. Therefore the cost would add up. Students who are able to travel safely are asked to plan to be with us in St Andrews for the start of the semester. My parents met there too, in the Forties, when it wasn't in the least bit stuffy. Daisy Watson. I don't know for sure that St Andrews was any better, but I do remember that on the open day the head of department met me individually and discussed all aspects of the course, which I probably should have appreciated more than I did.It is considered very prestigious. All of my twenty somethings are with boyfriend or girlfriends they met at university - seven years together, four years, three years, eighteen months etc. Both find St Andrews exceedingly boring now. So she knows the town and buildings well. 2 months ago . I went there and met my DH there. That may be a subject specific problem - she is looking at medicine, and the tour guides were both English Lit students who said "no one bothers to do any work till third year". However the university was not for dd in the end.Brilliant uni, very well respected in my industry (mathematics based) and it's a great Scottish town to live in.I hope my kids get a place there, good luck with your decision My dad had a good career in the City having done undergrad at St A (but only after he changed his name from a foreign one to a lowland Scottish one he found on the spine of a dusty old tome in the law library there (no-one would interview him with his original name back in those days but once he went Scottish all doors opened, miraculously)).I did History there 10 years ago - fantastic experience, in spite of the small town.
I don't' drive there - I fly. Applications for 2021 entry will open at the start of September 2020. It has plenty of students with money from England.
