Applying to law school (and jobs) from St Andrews

I'm an American going back to the US for law school. Does anyone have experience with how law schools view St Andrews/how LSAC converts our grades into GPAs? I got a First (17.3 average) and am also wondering whether I should tell jobs I apply to during my gap year that I got a 4.0.

question about dorms

Hi! I was wondering, for the winter holidays, do we have to completely empty our rooms? It is tough for international students, how do you deal with your belongings?

Balancing part time work as a post graduate student?

Hi,

I am an incoming postgraduate student starting my masters degree this year. I just wanted to see if people were able to balance part time work alongside their studies and social commitments.

I have an offer in hand to work 20 hours a week and wanted to see if this was realistic.

Thanks!

St Andrews 26

Hi! I’m starting Medicine at St Andrews this September. The WhatsApp groups seem to be full. Is there a current medicine group chat or would anyone be interested in making one?

Experience of ND, invisible illness, low SES students?

While I don't doubt the education at St Andrews is excellent, I'm hoping someone on this sub who is neurodivergent, with invisible chronic illness and/or from a low socioeconomic status background would be willing to share their experience and any challenges they faced in their time at St Andrews.

What has St Andrews been like for you? Would you go again if you had to do it over? Did you find (peer) community and advocacy?

How long to hear back from accomodation?

I'm an incoming international student for the coming academic year and I was just wondering how long it usually takes to hear back from accomodation. I handed in my application last week which I know isn't too long ago but when you're wondering where you're gonna sleep in a couple months it feels a bit like fire under your bum lol. Curious if theres an average time you usually wait to hear back!

How much money to give my daughter a good university experience?

Hi all,

My daughter will be heading off to the University of St Andrews in the next academic year, and I’m currently in the process of sorting out accommodation and tuition fees for a catered college there.

I’ve got the main costs covered, but I was wondering what other parents typically do when it comes to weekly spending money for their children’s social life (going out, food off-campus, transport, etc.)?

What would be considered a reasonable weekly allowance these days for a student in St Andrews? Any advice from those with experience would be really appreciated.

Incoming Study Abroad Student

I'm studying abroad at St Andrews next year and am hoping to get a good amount of traveling, golfing, and socializing done during my time.

Does anybody have any module (1000-2000 level) or professor recommendations that are both interesting and easy going, specifically without an emphasis on participation. I'm looking to do mostly courses in the School of Divinity, but I do also need to complete an arts and an english course for my home university.

The overall idea is to take engaging classes that still leave time to make the most out of the study abroad experience. So, any references on modules or professors would be greatly appreciated! 🙏

resitting exams

I failed an exam but not the module. I’m a first year so I know it doesn’t count for much. Do I get told if I’m eligible to resit or do I have to reach out separately about it?

St Andrew’s University

Incoming undergrad waitlisted by St Andrews, it is my dream school. Wondering if it is genuinely that good for teaching and employment, or overrated because of royals? How does the actual student experience compare to Manchester? Honest opinions appreciated, thanks.
