Personal comments
At first I was quite stressed, because I didn't know who I was going to cope. But then I became more confident, I met people, and began to work. That was important becuase I got used to the Scottish accent.

Final comments
St. Andrews is the home of golf, if you play then you will be paying rock bottom prices as a student to play quality courses. If you don´t like golf or American tourists, stay away.

Gosh, it's been a while. The West End café. The North Sea coast line. Haunting and unforgettable. The Highlands, Edinburgh. Getting to know locals.

In St Andrews there are three streets (you won't get lost), one cinema, no disco. Everything you get is pubs, pubs and pubs. Choose your own!
