[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We visited a year ago on a whim after both Trinity Dublin and Edinburgh didn’t inspire.

While easy to get caught up in the romance of the ridiculously stunning setting, the whole vibe clearly carried into the community. The ‘feel’ was poignant… to us it was like Notre Dame, but by the sea and in a much cooler town. We could see why student satisfaction is not dissimilar between those schools.

Please share your impressions from offer holders day! Sadly we cannot make it over.[/quote]

Same here. We visited St Andrews two weeks ago. Oh my. What a setting. There is something to be said for the highest satisfaction rating in the uk on 18 of the last 19 years. Amazing little village, everyone knows everyone, the setting is amazing. and there is plenty of golf!!! :-)

My kid is applying for 2026, but I was wondering how was Offer Holders day in April? If my kid gets in, should we plan on going?[/quote]

We went to Offer Holders Day this year and found it very helpful -- but it was our first visit to St Andrews. Given the comparative cost/effort of getting there, I don't know that I would make an additional trip if you have already visited, unless your student is torn between a couple of options and it would be helpful to see it again. I appreciated that the different department presentations included short lectures on a topic in the discipline -- they gave my kid a little flavor of what the courses might be like and I learned something too.

FWIW, my DC chose Trinity College Dublin but it was a tough, tough choice. [/quote]
