@billabongflipflops Some students are toffs. Some are wallopers. That's about it.

@amanda_welin Stop spreading bs. Rhis is so not a suitable article from the BBCSt Andrews is a very academic university with a few very wealthy people. Like most places in the world

@cordilly69 St Andrews is where I grew up and went to school. So much of what’s on here is the reason I left and I don’t go and visit anymore. The locals needs are pushed aside in favour of the students and tourism. 😢

@shauntellemthomp @soph.ie_thompson 🤠

@bobmorrice96 I’ve only been to St Andrews once and saw two old guys leathering into each other over queue jumping in a chip shop.

@gary_sb93 Love it great town, had some fantastic nights out their

@dvdcowan I've read recently that regular Scottish students are made to feel like second class citizens in their own country by lecturers and other students. Don't know if it's all like that, but it wouldn't surprise me. Have heard similar stories about Edinburgh Uni.

@zane_ng There are/were posh students, many in the business school, yes. Barack Obama played golf at the old course in 2016 or 2017 yes. But also lots of students just do studies and suffer from different issues. Outside of the three main streets and the Old Course it’s just a quiet town, sometimes feeling very under-developed because you need to go to Dundee for a proper hospital. The sands and Fife Costal Path is beautiful though.

@mackeduardo @salvagepars

@nelis67 Fuck sake just go play golf

@mrsraistrick Can’t wait to watch it!
