Living Accommodations for St Andrews, Scotland

Residence Halls

The University of St Andrews offers student housing in both on-campus and off-campus residence halls. USAC students can indicate their preferences among the options available when applying for university housing. Residence halls range from the former Archbishop’s house at Deans Court to attractive St Salvator’s Hall (better known as ‘Sallies’) to New Hall, a more modern residence hall. In each one, students are provided with a well-furnished study bedroom, either shared or single. Some halls offer private ‘en-suite’ bathrooms while others are shared. Libraries, computer rooms, and lounges within the halls provide ample opportunity for both academic and social activities.

Students can choose from catered residence halls, which include a meal plan, or self-catered residence halls, which do not include a meal plan but provide access to fully equipped shared kitchens. Card-operated laundry facilities are also available in each hall.

Each university hall has its own wardennial team who live within the hall, are available to support students on a range of matters and strive to build community among residents.
