Great vid! You just told me more than James ever has about St A’s traditions. Also, gown worth every penny for the fab pics of you in it! Hope you are well with no symptoms! Hope to see you when things get back to normal!. 😘
Im starting in september and i got my gown the other week. I only got it because it was about £45 from vintid including postage and everything rather then £160-£170 new, also, im the sort of weirdo who will probably wear the gown regularly 🤣🤣
Love your videos! I'm starting st Andrews in September. As a video suggestion the pros and cons of sharing accommodation in first year, did you share and if you did do you regret it? I'm picking my accommodation options soon so this would be super helpful. Thank you! Love from Ireland Xx
Hey! I’m a British student hoping to go to St Andrews in September. Just a quick question, are there loads of Americans at the uni? Not that it’s a bad thing at all, I’d be very excited to meet people from across the world! Thank you, and I absolutely love your vlogs :)
There are quite a few Americans at St. Andrews!! I think the school as a whole is something like 45% international so there’s people from all across the globe! Also thank you sm xx
Hello Miranda! Thank you for your videos -- they help a lot as I'm planning to enter St.Andrews next year. Can you please tell more about student ambassadors? How many of them are there? What are their usual duties? How students treat them? Is it very complicated to become one?
Aw yay I'm so glad!! Student Ambassadors mainly give tours of the school or act as guides around town on visiting days for prospective students (which is normally every Weds of a term I think). To become one, you can attend an info session at the beginning of the year and submit an application! I'm not sure how many of them there are total, but there are definitely a decent amount, and I think the process to become one is pretty simple! I don't think students treat them any differently either xx
as far as I remember you choose what type of accommodation you want (shared or single, catered or self catered) and the uni assigns you from there! Will have a whole vid on it up in a few days xx
Hey, was just wondering if everyone takes part in all of the events (balls, raisin weekend etc.) or do people generally only do a few? Also what happens if you don’t have an academic family? Thanks :)
Hey! The amount of events you do is completely up to you! Most people do raisin but some people don't and that's also fine! In terms of balls, they can get very expensive, so I generally go to around 1 or 2 a semester to keep it financially feasible. If you don't have an academic family, they have matching events in the weeks leading up to raisin, or you can always join a friends-- the majority of parents always want more children!! xx
Can you point out the main differences you've noticed. I'm not from Scotland or the US, but I know I'm going to study either somewhere in the UK or in the US. It would be really helpful.
Do you know if postgrads have academic dress? I have an offer for September which I'm indecisive about accepting. Also, church recommendations appreciated! :D
Post grads have an option of a black gown with burgundy trim I think!! There are a good amount of church options in St. Andrews- I work for the episcopal church St Andrews, St Andrews but even if I didn’t I would still go there! It’s most similar to my church at home and the community is really welcoming and lovely! There’s also a more modern service called Cornerstone that a lot of students go to and like, as well as a Catholic Church near the scores and a few other ones! xx
yes! a lot of people work part time! I talk a little more about employment in st andrews in this vid starting at 13:44! czcams.com/video/1gzMNZd6IfQ/video.html

I really want to go there but apparently the accommodation is pretty expensive so I don't know if I would be able to afford it :(

Hey! I just got the news that I'm starting at St. Andrews in September too. Still can't believe it. But I was also wondering about accommodations.
Maggie McDaniel hey Maggie! I just uploaded a video on accommodation if you need some advice xx
@@user-fr3ox8rw9j I´m starting at St Andrews in September as well! What will you be studying? :)

@@MirandaWilson thank you so much for answer! You're amazing ♡
If you study abroad for a year at St. Andrews as a 3rd year can you still be a part of an academic family?
Yes definetly! From my experience study abroad kids generally get adopted alongside freshers, but I’m sure you could adopt as well!
How does the accommodation work?like can you pick specific Halls or is it random?
as far as I remember you choose what type of accommodation you want (shared or single, catered or self catered) and the uni assigns you from there! Will have a whole vid on it up in a few days xx
hey! just wondering, do postgrads usually take part in these traditions?
It depends, but I would say a good amount of them do! There aren’t strict rules about who can participate so it’s up to you xx
