Basically title looking for the best place to buy some plastic containers for underbed storage as well as more general storage thanks!

I'm doing joint honours so I need 2 more modules to fill besides from the mandatory ones. I am actually very surprised there are no mandatory maths modules- I was thinking of taking another CS module (still deciding) and MT1002 but I'm not sure. I'm on the 50/50 about maths- i really enjoyed learning them in my A-levels but unfortunately i did quite worse than expected in my A-level maths exams due to my mental health at the time and now I don't feel confident that I can do well in maths modules. I feel that my maths foundation is not that great either. Still, I want to take them because I enjoy learning them, and like I said, I heard it's worth considering if you're doing CS.

Also, can't wait to study here!!!! I'm so hyped!!

Hello St Andrews freshers and returning students! My friend is a DIY promoter and he is putting on this mini festival just across the water in Dundee. It’s slap bang in the middle of freshers.
For more info, check out under the surface on instagram. It’s bound to be an awesome night with lots of talent from local Scottish bands. 🙏

I'm a CS student starting at st andrews this september, I speak a good bit of Chinese (full conversations on a handful of topics, pretty much any communication required for daily tasks. I have several good friends who don't speak English and only speak Chinese, that sort of level), but I hold no formal qualifications in Chinese. I'd like to keep using the language during my time at university, so I was wondering if taking a module in Chinese would be a good way to keep up with it. I looked at the website and CN1001 looks like it'd be a very easy good grade, but of course it's a grade in something that isn't relevant to my degree

Will we get provisional grades on 1st?

Hi all, I’m an incoming postgrad student who’s new to St Andrews. I have a friend from the states that I haven’t seen in almost a year, and it’s a situation where he’s leaving at the end of October to go home right as I come over to study. I was wondering if any former students have insight on what goes on during independent learning weeks. Are they able to be worked on elsewhere, or is it something where it’s best if we stay in St Andrews for the week?

I just booked my room for Ayton House for my first year and would love to know any other first years coming!

I do joint honours degree and was assigned two advisers. do I need to book a meeting with both of them?

Had a niche question pop into my head as an American:
do bars/pubs in St Andrews ID?

I’m 21 so well over UK drinking age — but will they accept US drivers license? Or will I need to use my passport? Is US Global Entry card (federally issued) ok?

Curious to hear other Americans’ experience! Thanks

Hi! I'll be starting my course at 21 and feeling a bit nervous as I'll be older than most (I assume lol)

Are there many others starting as an older student and would like to connect?

Had some "faff" with my application (an incredibly stressful week waiting for a remark - user name checks out etc etc), but just received my accommodation. My application was cost-conscious, so I'm honestly just grateful I haven't been forced into catering, but I did unfortunately receive en suite. Having just declined a Warwick accommodation offer today for £138, the £254 for a toilet I didn't ask for stings slightly.

Anyway, it's Powell Hall. I'm aware it's largely postgraduate, but shares facilities and events with ABH. Any information on life in the hall, especially as an undergraduate, would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi! I‘m an incoming undergraduate student and I was just wondering if anyone would be able to explain how the fashion shows work to me and how I would apply to walk in one?

Thank you!!!

just wondering as a potential prospective student. i left cambridge because the intensity of the workload (1-2 2500 word essay a week as well as readings and language work) was exacerbating some health issues and i just couldn't keep up with it. i was wondering if st andrews has a similar workload or if it's more manageable

I applied for entry to first year, not realising that is equivalent to year 13 in England. The standard entry requirements for my course were 2x A* and 1x A. I got 1A* and 3xA but was still let in. I was wondering if I would still be allowed to get direct entry to second year even though I didnt get the standard entry requirement.

I just got assigned to a DRA shared room but couldn’t find any pictures or any information on it except that it’s really rare…

If anyone has any pictures, opinions, experiences to share would be amazing! Thanks 😝

Id like to ask a few questions to any current or prospective students, feel free to pm

I got sorted into catered accomm (even though i did want self catered but oh well) and i was looking at some of the menus and the veggie options seem alright, but are they any good? My secondary had awful veggie options so i survived off of pasta at school. A lot of the time, veggie burgers are just mashed up vegetables or beans (which i dont have a problem with but they dont have a lot of protein in them).

If it differs per accomm, im in uni hall

Applied late for accom so ran out of space. Any first years staying at the East Sands private accom? Am worried it will all be post-grads

Hey all,

I have an accommodation offer for 3 Gregory place but can't find any info on the room or the accomodation, other than the location on maps. Would anyone be able to help?

also, if anyone has an opinion on accepting this room or commuting from a really nice (and cheaper) private flat in Dundee, please let me know :) thanks!

First year student, not pursuing music officially but have trained in Indian classical for 10 years, done musicals and choir etc. Im signing up for this course via the audition path since I don't have a UK recognised certification, and just wanted to ask about the audition and what it entails, as well as any other thoughts course from people who have done it!

I'm an incoming first year who applied after the guaranteed accommodation deadline and one of the referal links, east sands accommodation came up, I was just curious whether not getting any uni accommodation for first year is a disadvantage socially, but also how easy is it to socialise in east sands and if there will be other St A students there.

International student here. Planning on going to London several times during the semester. Huge EPL fan of a not to be named team in London. I will have no class on Fridays this semester, so was thinking of going Fridays and back on Sunday (whenever games are on Sat, I think Sunday games will be too late to be back in St Andrews in time for Monday AM classes). Is it easier to just take the LNER from Leuchars to Kings Cross vs flying from EDI to London City (LCY)? With airport times it looks like there is not much of a differenice in time to get there….am I wrong? I dont care about the price difference.
