Student Accommodation
St Andrews
St Andrews is a town defined by its academic heritage, where the University of St Andrews is woven into the very fabric of the cobbled streets. As Scotland's oldest university, the demand for quality housing is consistently high, making it essential to secure a base early. While many students traditionally look toward the central three streets or areas like North Haugh and Abbey Walk, our properties are designed to offer a more streamlined alternative. By choosing purpose-built accommodation, you avoid the uncertainties of the local private rental market, positioning yourself within easy reach of both the coastal scenery and your lecture theatres.
Location is everything in a town of this size, and our residences are strategically placed to ensure you spend less time commuting and more time immersed in campus life. Unlike private HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation), which are often scattered throughout residential districts like Badger Park or more distant areas like Guardbridge, our buildings are situated to keep you connected. Staying with us means you can bypass the energy-draining daily travel that comes with living further out or staying at home. Instead, you gain full independence and a head start on your morning, with the library and student union just a short walk or quick cycle away.
Financial predictability is a core part of the experience here, which is why your stay comes with all utility bills included*. This covers your essential water, electricity, and heating, alongside high-speed Wi-Fi, allowing you to manage your budget without the stress of rising price caps or unexpected costs common in the private sector. In a market where utility expenses can be volatile and difficult to split between housemates, our all-inclusive model provides a fixed point for your monthly outgoings. This transparency ensures that the only thing you need to focus on is your degree and enjoying the unique lifestyle that St Andrews offers.
We believe that a focused student is a supported student. Our St Andrews properties feature onsite teams and comprehensive CCTV coverage to ensure a secure environment at all times. Entry is managed via secure key fob access, providing peace of mind for both students and their families. Unlike private rentals, where maintenance can sometimes be a slow process, our responsive professional management teams are based on-site to handle any repairs or issues quickly. We also provide a dedicated parcel collection service, ensuring your deliveries are kept safe until you are ready to pick them up after a day of classes.
Living in a private house can sometimes feel isolating, but our buildings are specifically designed to foster a stronger community. We provide superior on-site amenities, including dedicated study rooms for collaborative projects, modern gyms, and communal lounges where you can unwind. You can stay connected with everything happening in the building through our residents app, KLIQ, which allows you to book social spaces, track your parcels, and stay updated on our regular resident events. It is an environment built for making connections, ensuring you have a built-in social network from the moment you arrive.
We take pride in offering a warm, inclusive welcome to our international student community. Moving to a new country involves a lot of logistics, and our onsite teams are here to help you settle in and navigate life in the UK. Through diverse social events and our shared communal spaces, we provide a platform for students from all over the world to meet and build friendships quickly. This supportive atmosphere helps combat isolation and ensures that your transition to studying in Scotland is as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

The University of St Andrews
The oldest university in Scotland, and the third oldest university in the English-speaking world, the University of St Andrews was founded in the 15th century and remains one of the leading centres for teaching and research in the world. Its reputation is well founded, and the consistency of 600 years at the top of the game helps it to continue to provide a stellar foundation of knowledge, learning and support for its students. The modern-day University of St Andrews is close to our luxury beachfront student accommodation. It offers students a flexible degree structure, where you choose your choice of subject specialism or research. What this achieves is a learning environment that promotes learning, encourages inquisitive minds, and creates a love of shared learning.
St Andrews was formed in 1413 and has grown over the centuries to be well-renowned as a community of scholars that welcomes people from all over the world. Diversity, curiosity and academic freedom are cherished values that are set at the core of the university. The famous red gowns that are usually worn at formal events and the traditional pier walk were first introduced in 1672 to help distinguish students from locals.
Student Accommodation
Our St Andrews student accommodation is just a short 20-minute walk to the university. The university’s pride in its learning environment is evident in the four libraries on-site. These include the main library, the King James Library (1643), and the oldest university library reading room in Scotland as a whole. The staff at the university are incredibly friendly, always on hand to help students with any queries or problems relating to studies or any other matter of student life. The help desk has been awarded Customer Service Excellence status in recent years.
Internships
With such an in-built love of learning and freedom of education, there is no surprise that the university offers as much help as possible to its students in finding and securing work post graduation. The summer internships scheme has been developed to provide a wide spectrum of project-based internships within different parts of the University of St Andrews over the summer months. This is open to students in the second and third years of undergraduate courses at the university. Aside from this scheme, the careers advice service is excellent, including a drop-in for job advice from experienced advisors, a job shop vacancy service, student enterprise support services, and in-depth support and advice for international students adjusting to life living and studying abroad.
Students’ Association
All new students at the University of St Andrews are automatically made members of the Students’ Association, with access to over 160 student societies, as well as free use of all facilities. Alongside the social benefits, the Students’ Association is also a great support for students in all aspects of life, including academic pressures, ill health, mental health support, financial and accommodation problems, and representation.
The University of St Andrews is integrated into the historic town itself, with the ancient buildings sitting next door to university property, modern science facilities, the beaches, the town centre, and of course, the golf course. It is a small town and one where a real sense of community exists between students, but also between students and the local town.
Students commonly live around South Street, North Street, and Abbey Walk, as well as in residential streets just outside the historic centre. These areas are popular because they are close to teaching buildings, libraries, and everyday amenities.
St Andrews is very compact, and most students walk everywhere. Daily routines are built around short distances rather than planning journeys, which gives student life a tight, campus-centred rhythm.
