Prospective students
One of the great strengths of the University of St Andrews is its residential system and the variety and range of its residential accommodation. The University is unique among other Scottish universities in the extent and variety of its residential accommodation. Nearly half of our students live in University owned accommodation.
Single undergraduate students in their first year are given special priority and, under normal circumstances, are guaranteed accommodation usually in a Hall of Residence provided they apply by 30 June in the year of entry.
Each residence has a mixed population of first year and returning students, Home and Overseas student as well as students from different Faculties. Living in a residence in your first year is the best possible start for your studies. Currently the hall population is made up of 34% returning students and 66% first year students.
