"St Andrews has been an established institution for hundreds of years and is amongst the most prestigious universities in the country making it amongst my top options academically speaking. My interest in experiencing new culture is what compelled me to ultimately choose studying in St Andrews, Scotland over England or elsewhere as it provided me with a unique balance of both strong academics and a unique setting."
