Guess you must have seen Prince William when you were a Bejant/Semi
I've already met my first St Andrian Alumni on here!

I did see William a few times, though I never spoke to him. Seemed like a very nice guy from what I heard. Saw him in TESCO once and a few times in the Union.

I was very lucky to be in Hamilton in a year of huge over subscription for places. They had to put me in a converted common room - the Regents Room - which was great as it had ionic columns, a fire place, decrotaive ceiling and velvet curtains - oh and the views! After Hamilton I moved out near to the Cannongate and then spent the last two years on North Street next to the Police Station.

Not sure whether you know but Hamilton was sold by the Uni to make into executive timeshares but after two to three years the place has had no work on it and left abandoned You'll be happy to here that Regs is still going strong.

St Andrews really had a huge positive impact on me and I can't imagine being happier anywhere else. I got an honorary lifetime membership to the Students' Association for my running societies and even founding one which is now one of the biggest there! I had such a good time that my sister followed me up a few years later - she originally vowed not to go anywhere near my uni but one visit and she was hooked! Really, truly a special and fantastic place - my Hogwarts! :P
