[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At St Andrews it wasnt a fair comparison. We got lucky with sunny weather and the dorms were not official tours. But we a friend of ours introduced us to a couple whose kid is finishing up his 1st year and he was kind enough to show us his shared room at McIntosh and his friend’s room at St Salvator’s. Incredibly enough both were in their 3rd or 4th floors and they were both facing the ocean..….And what a view that was. Incredible. Hard to beat that view.

In the end he liked the collegiate system better at Durham, but liked the two dorms at St Andrews the best given their locations. But again, he has not decided yet and at both places, there are no guarantees of what College or accommodation halls you will end up at.[/quote]

So is it between Durham and St Andrews? Has he given up Exeter and Manchester?[/quote]

yes, he has just a few weeks to make a decision. It is between Durham and St Andrews. he likes the Collegiate system at Durham, but worried he wont get the two colleges he wants since he is taking a while to make a decision. But he likes the extra yr at St Andrews that gives him the flexibility to change his mind on a course and do something else. Tough decision. We are ok with either one. I’m partially (secretly) bias towards St Andrews simply because we Golf and we love the excuse of going to Edinburgh when we visit as we fell in love with that city. But we are letting him decide.[/quote]
