I think the greatest lesson was learning how far my independence goes. Living abroad and living alone was very new to me but Scotland was the perfect place to test the waters. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I gained new friends, new sights, new ways to make myself feel at home, love for travel and new perspectives about the world. Coming into the experience, I prioritized my academics, but while there were enriching academic experiences, there was also so much adventure and wondrous nature views abound. Definitely worthwhile.

I learned how to do archaeology and a lot about the history of monastic Scotland! A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I learned a lot about how to be independent and take care of myself in the real world. I had to fly over there on my own and my second semester I cooked for myself.

About
Founded in 1413, the University of St Andrews is Scotland’s oldest university, and the third oldest in the English speaking world.
The University is located in the mediaeval coastal town of St Andrews on the east coast of Scotland. The town, with its close-knit community, is very much our campus with University buildings interspersed with shops, cafes, supermarkets, pubs and restaurants. Surrounded by rolling countryside we also boast some of the most beautiful beaches in Scotland and access, by good public transport connections, north to the Highlands of Scotland and south to England. Our nearest international airport is Edinburgh from which students can travel to Europe relatively cheaply during breaks.
Academically, St Andrews is consistently ranked amongst the UK’s top 5 universities and is one of Europe’s leading and most research intensive universities. In particular, a number of subjects are internationally recognised: Chemistry, Divinity, Earth Sciences, English, Film Studies, German, History, International Relations, Mathematics, Philosophy and Physics.
With around 7,500 students, one-third of whom come from overseas, we have also been ranked first in the UK for student satisfaction for five years running. Students enjoy a vibrant social life in St Andrews, taking part in student societies, sports, musical and drama productions, and dancing at one of the many Balls that take place throughout the year.
St Andrews welcomes a large number of non-graduating students to our International Study Abroad Programme each year.
