I tihnk, if I had my time over again, I may well have plumped for Glasgow. Anyone else?

St Andrews - although Glasgow would have been nice for the social aspect

In first year, St Andrews seemed like a really big town compared to where I grew up, but looking back I sometimes wish I'd gone to a bigger uni in a city. Oh well, there's always grad school...

I couldn't stand to be in Warwick. Firstly it's far too close to where I live. But secondly it's a weird campus university, and takes a bus ride to get to any nearby city/town (although Coventry and Leamington aren't that appealing places).

I would not have chosen differently.

I applied to Warwick as well, but I'm glad I chose St Andrews. Having said that, I'm only in first year. York might have been nice though...

I love St Andrews, although I am getting rather bored of it and am looking forward to graduating in June. My second choice was Glasgow, but knowing what I know now, I'd like to go to Stirling and study sport or something! The campus is gorgeous up there! :)

I dont sit and think about which Uni I would have gone too, if i could choose differently-i'm happy with st andrews and all the amazing people I've met here.

But there are times when I wonder what it would have been like if I had gone to do a different course-I applied for Egyptology and Forensic Science at different uni's-and was accepted-so by now I would be 2nd level Hiero. or examining the scene- but I love my AH course here.

St. Andrews without doubt. I just might have done things a little differently.

St Andrews, one of the best universities in the world, if not the best.

Anywhere but here. Ideally somewhere bigger.

Everyone in this town knows who I am. People I've never met before walk up to me and start asking me about aspects of my life. It's claustrophobic, I feel trapped, I can't do anything without everyone hearing about it. The uni authorities are a pack of bastards, I've been called a 'thick paddy' on numerous occassions by other students, half the time I'm treated like a freak because I'm not into the 'fashionable' stuff most people in my classes are, the health centre is a joke, I can't afford to live here.

The library is shit, and most of the recommendations of the library report were ignored. My department is in a terrible state of repair, with the postgrad building so bad that it actually has holes in the walls. The postgrad building is only a wooden hut, and it is freezing in there. The careers service is utterly useless and incompetent.

I could go on, but that's enough for now. St Andrews sucks.

I might have gone to Strathclyde Uni. Although it would have been a 5 year course so maybe not.
