I visited the University of St Andrew's
twice before I decided I wanted to spend 4 years of my life there .

It is really important to visit university's , don't just rely on the prospectus , as they are often just trying to make it look good !!!

This opinion is in the wrong place but I couldn't find a suitable area to put it !

10 Things to do when you visit
-------------------------------

1. Go on a tour on the Uni , get a feel of the atmosphere , and the location .

2. Ask to see the Halls of residence , you'll live their for 4 years remember , so make sure the living areas aren't sh*t holes !!!

3. Speak to students , ask what their likes and dislikes are about the uni .

4. Visit with a friend or relative , spend the day there ( it's a break from school at least ) , and even stay over and visit the bars etc . Get a feel for uni life .

5. Visit the academic school , and ask for a tour with an under- graduate , they will fill you in on the syatem .

6 . Speak to the academic tutors about the couses avaliable , and ask how easy it is to change course , incase you feel you're not 100% sure what course you want to do .

7. Visit the activites/socities fayres or the union , find out what else there is to do besides study ( thats the best bit )

8.Go on an offical open day as they often hire coaches to ship you around if the uni is not a campus . It saves getting lost and a lot of time ( drinking time ! ).

9.Go with a set of questions you want to ask , written down , so do don't wish after you had asked something you didn't .

10. Only decided to put a university on your UCAS form if you are really sure you liked it .
---------------------------------------------

I did all of the above and chose St Andrew's, it is a great uni with a cracking atmosphere .

Don't take my word for it ,
find out for yourself ....

Most degrees at St Andrews are 4 years
Arts - MHons

Science Bsc

I moved out of Hall in second year , and got a flat with friends , which was a little more expensive but well worth it .

All the uni course advisors are really helpful and the uni has a great student support service .

St Andrews has a great union and plenty of sports and activites from utimate frisby to
joining the TA .

The Christian Union also give out Hot Crossed Buns at Easter .... Yum
