It has 3 main streets and lots of little lanes that connect them. Very walkable. Both ancient (crumbling castle and cathedrals) and modern (tons of great restaurants, boutique stores and eateries as well as Starbucks, H&amp;M, etc.).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a very popular golf destination with 7 public courses\u2013including the famous Old Course\u2013 that draws tourists and international tournaments. The town also has two expansive beaches (one of which was used in the iconic Chariots of Fire scene), and a long pier. There are nice hotels and air BnBs available in town (parking can be difficult). Gorgeous vistas everywhere you turn! Great town for running and walking.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The weather is typically Scottish, though it rains less than you\u2019d think in St. Andrew\u2019s. Occasional snow in winter but remains mostly temperate (low in 40\u2019s during winter to high 60\u2019s). Sun comes out a lot too!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The uni is about an hour and 15 minutes from Edinburgh airport. There is a reliable bus system and a train station. Most students can travel for free. Very safe community. A popular nightclub destination is Dundee, about 20 minutes away. Otherwise, the town is surrounded by farmland.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Traditions\/key programs:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013Unique advising program: \u201dfamilies\u201d are student-run small groups that do a lot of activities together. 3rd years \u201cbuild\u201d families in the beginning of the year by inviting first year students to join them.
