“Great University in a Beautiful Setting”
Joseph W
United Kingdom, Undergraduate
International Relations, 2023
OverallSt. Andrews is a beautiful town, with three beaches and atmospheric ruins around every corner. The university is small enough that you feel like you are a valued member of the community. The International Relations course is really interesting, incorporating a wide range of topics and theories.

St Andrews is a lovely place and a wonderful university. Go to Edinburgh first and take a train, only one hour to get off at luchars railway satation. Take No.99 to St. Andrews bus station.
