>> JONATHON: There is various student accommodation options here at St Andrews.

>> HENRY: I chose to be self-catered. I shared a flat with four other people from across the UK. It's just been an amazing experience so far. So, my flat mates are my best friends.

>> SHUTONG: Nearly everybody knows each other so it is a really tight community.

>> JONATHON: I've stayed in a standard catered hall. These kind of halls is where students will get catered meals.

>> THOMAS: Three communal meals a day. That was a good way in which to meet people and just talk with people. It was just very easy to mix and mingle.

>> RACHEL: You're able to make so many great friends and it really does feel like a home away from home.
