The Tatler’s guide to St Andrews is pretty accurate

By Editor 9 years ago

We’ve seen worse.

When anyone publishes an article about St. Andrews, there’s potential for a certain amount of drama, but this time everything was surprisingly civil?

The Tatler’s University guide attempts to sum up several unis in a few words, St. Andrews included. What they had to say about us wasn’t too bad.

How to get in: “Be tough, be focused, be from overseas.” So this seems relatively complimentary thus far, and not untrue. Foreign students have a far easier shot at admittance than Scottish students, which increases the cultural diversity of the student population (good), but also results in frat themed house parties (less good).

Top subjects: ‘Politics and international relations, theology and computer science.’ This sounds about right.

Doss Subject: They claim there is none, but that’s not exactly true. One IR third year said, “Ha, management.”

Where you want to live: They say that accommodation here is “notoriously crap” and to aim for DRA or Agnes Blackadder. DRA is far, but nice (heated floors). ABH is slightly closer, and more-or-less the same. Macintosh, Regs, Sallies, all nice enough. The quality of halls is less of a problem than that of the private accommodation in town and the disproportionate prices some pay for it. Mould has been spotted in a flat where the tenants were paying about £650 a month.

Where you don’t: Alcohol-free flats. If anyone does live in one of these so called ‘alcohol-free’ flats, let’s get you writing about it. The rest of us are super curious about what your lives are like.

Where to drink: Why has ‘champagning’ died down in the past couple years? Bring it back. As a side note, the real St. Andrews classic is a pub crawl. Initiation pub crawls, exams-are-over pub crawls, my-exam-is-tomorrow pub crawls. The only thing we have more of in this town than pubs are Italian restaurants.

Best night out: When they say we love our wine and cheese they’re not wrong. But some of the best nights ‘out’ end up being flat parties with everyone you’ve ever met packed into a hollowed-out living room. We make do with what we have.

Bnocs:  Who decided on these? Since St. Andrews is so small, everyone probably does know some of those people… but doesn’t everyone kind of know everyone anyway?

Celeb alumni: “St. Andrews- Where Wills and Kate met” is getting repetitive by now, surely?

Don’t miss: Raisin Weekend. If you ask anyone what their favourite St. Andrews-based thing is, this will probably be at the top of the list. It’s simply the best tradition ever, elegantly combining the things St. Andrews students love most: drinking and telling other people when to drink.

Top Tip: Do May Dip. Can’t argue there.

  251. An online Dogecoin wallet will offer quick storage solutions for those who don’t want to download desktop or mobile wallets. Most online services also let you trade right from your dashboard, apart from offering some advanced features, like staking or APY. These wallets are good options if you just want to make small trades or store small amounts of Doge for limited periods of time. However, online storage solutions have been known to be vulnerable to hackers, so avoid keeping large amounts of digital assets stored this way. When you decide to buy dogecoin with debit card it will have various use-cases. Once you buy dogecoin with debit card instantly, you can hold onto the token in your wallet for a pre-specified period of time, wait for it to spike in value, and sell it afterward as a means of making a profit out of it.

Enjoy Exclusive Discounts The Bitcoin Network was humming along for its first several years of existence, letting users send or receive funds quickly and inexpensively exactly as designed. However some fundamental limitations of the network became more apparent over the years as Bitcoin’s popularity sharply increased. This led to a highly contentious move by network participants in 2017 that quite literally split not only the community, but the Bitcoin blockchain itself. In the wake of the resulting controversy, an entirely new cryptocurrency was created, Bitcoin Cash (BCH). Ahead, we’ll go into detail about the differences between Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash and how they’re used.
