[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]St Andrew’s is not an elite school in any way.[/quote]

depends on what you mean by "elite."  This article suggests it's very highly regarded by its students.

As already noted, almost half the students at St Andrews are international. Scottish degrees are generally 4 years while those in England are 3 (English students go to high school for one more year than Scottish students).  Therefore, Scottish universities are not considered by a majority of university students in the UK.  I think Scottish high school leavers have to complete English A levels before they can go to an English university.  So, the students at St Andrews would be primarily Scottish and international.  I'm not sure it makes sense to compare English and Scottish universities as though they are the same.  [/quote]

This. St Andrews courts the full pay American student so is considered by academia to be second fiddle.[/quote]
