Cheap access to a killer golf course, though for most of the school year that is probably useless?

Nope. Though your ignorant advertising of your MAGA views is quite sad. Why are you people so full of hate?

Most people I know going there are far from progressive. Not necessarily MAGA, but definitely not super liberal. More private school money types, who tend to be centrist or lean slightly right - probably a lot of Republicans without a home - used to be Republican in the old school sense but despise what Trump has done.

the troll keeps creating or reviving StA threads. Wonder if their bonus depends on the no of US applications.

A lot of American private school kids attend, often bc they didn't get into the US schools they preferred. Big US private school cliques at st andrews just like here at top private colleges. There kids aren't looking for a discount but are attracted to UK social opportunitiesamd potential prestige of a well known (although not top) international university. A friend's daughter at st. A went to a 'ball' recently and the mom was so excited about that.

It's cheaper than US colleges and they speak English (somewhat understandably to US English speakers).

Princess Kate and Prince William made the name recognizable to the American masses.

Apparently about 20% of the student body is American and it's been nicknamed the "Nantucket of Scotland." What's the draw and why this one university particularly?
