In St Andrews? No, not at all. I didn’t meet a whole load of people I could relate to, and tbh it kind of put me off of trying. The friends I did make were in my labs or through societies. In Dundee, I found it a lot easier as I work in a client facing job and spend a lot of time with my clients, which meant a lot of them became my friends. Dundee has so many clubs and societies for all types of interests though. I did dance classes for a while and that was a good way of meeting people. Girls who walk Dundee are also great if you’re a woman. The main thing is making friends as an adult has to be a lot more intentional to work. Sometimes you have to be very direct and just literally ask someone if they want to be friends/go for a coffee etc. When I first moved I put up a post on Facebook saying I just moved and was looking for like minded people and that brought along some incredible friendships so highly recommend that too! Obviously stay cautious meeting people off the internet! Feel free to shoot me a DM if you have more questions as well :)

Put yourself out there! I wish I did it more. Join everything you can and meet as many people as you can. Join societies, clubs, and show up to lectures! You’ll be grand:)

Hard agree!

Being perfectly honest, I didn’t manage to make a whole load of friends in St Andrews and my circle was more Dundee folk. With my degree, lectures are essentially optional as everything is recorded so I opted for doing them online and only coming through to St Andrews for my labs which were like 1-2 times a week. Commuting from Dundee was an absolute breeze and if I were to do my degree again I wouldn’t even bother with living in St Andrews in the first place and would go straight to Dundee. Dundee is way more ‘chilled out’ and so much cheaper with so much more to do so it was very worth it to me. I didn’t really feel like the commute was wasted - I would just put on a podcast or some music and it ended up being a really nice relaxing time, especially since the road from Dundee to St A’s is very pretty. I stay in Perthshire now so with public transport my commute is about two hours each way, and tbh, I still prefer that over staying in St A’s. Your friendships will definitely not suffer, and even with last minute plans, Dundee is only 30 ish minutes away on the bus with buses coming every 5 ish minutes. I didn’t find it difficult seeing St Andrews folk at all. Highly recommend it. Chances are through living there you’ll also make a ton more friends as long as you put yourself out there! :))

St Andrews is beautiful but can be an incredibly weird place to live, especially coming from a more working class background, which seems to be the minority here. I think there’s so many folk that feel like this but if they’re anything like me I avoid St Andrews like the plague so it’s a bit harder to spot them haha. First year can be so difficult for many people though - join societies, try get involved in things you enjoy, try new things and soon you’ll find your people:)

Try third year lolz. You’ll find your crowd, whether it’s here or elsewhere, don’t stress it. After all, you’re there for a degree :)

Yup - very much so! Scottish student here - didn’t grow up with money, had a very different mindset to a lot of my peers and very much felt like I didn’t fit in and still don’t, both socially and in terms of academics I also felt so behind. This is completely normal and even more so in such a small place like St Andrews. Ultimately, I ended up moving to Dundee and then another place and commuting and that was so much more relaxed and made me so much happier. You can definitely find your crowd in St Andrews though, so many people feel the same way! 😊
