[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had student-led tours at both St Andrews and Edinburgh. We spent the day in St Andrews mapping out the halls and the buildings where my child would have most of their courses (psychology major), walked to the sports center, poked around the shops, had lunch in a pub and people-watched in a coffee shop for a while. It's very easy to get a sense of student life in St Andrews. In Edinburgh, we had a longer tour, and were able to see the library and some other university buildings. We ate lunch near the student union, and walked to some of the catered halls to see how far they were from George square (most were about 20 min away, but easy to take the bus). After our visit, my child was interested in St Andrews but Edinburgh was definitely the first choice - it's a great school in a lovely and lively city, lots to do, cool vibe. The more she thought about it, however, the more she liked St Andrews because she thought in a smaller, more geographically compact school it would be easier to make friends, easier to find support, easier to navigate.  And Edinburgh is only a train ride away. She was accepted to both but decided on St Andrews, and it was definitely the right decision for her during Covid lockdowns and restrictions. Now that it's back to normal, she says that the town doesn't feel small at all and there is tons to do. She didn't consider Glasgow, but both Edinburgh and St Andrews are great choices. [/quote]

How often does she fly back home?[/quote]
