University of St Andrews

Hi there,

I graduated in 2001 and had experience of fair few different schools (School of Greek, Latin and Ancient History, School of Mathematics, School of Physics and Astronomy, School of Divinity, School of Modern Languages and School of Philosophical and Anthropological Studies) and would have to say that, in general, teaching was good to excellent. I did find some of the Physics and Maths lecures could be a bit "uninspiring" but the Tutorials and Labs were always top rate.

St Andrews has more than its fair share of eccentricities, but is a great place to study as it is such a tight-nit student community. As you are living on campus and the campus is also the town it is great place from the point of view of familiarity. There are people who are "stuck up" like you might find at Bristol, Durham or Oxbridge but most people are "regular" students. I would wholehearedly recommend anyone study at St Andrews.

University of St Andrews

I see you've already had one reply! I echo everything the previous responder says, except to say that I loved most of my first and second year maths and physics lecturers. I'm yet to see what Honours years will throw at me, but I'm looking forward to them. St Andrews is whatever you make it. The town, architechture wise is very traditional (for the most part), and there's a fair proportion of those that like to keep up tradition, but if you're not into that, then nobody's going to tell you you have to be into tradition. The countryside is barely a stone's throw and is beautiful. Just taking the journey from Edinburgh to St Andrews takes you through some nice rolling lowlands. We have a fairly active hillwalking society, so you should join them, should you choose to come here!

As for computer facilities, we have a fair few 24-hour computing labs, and all halls have 24-hour computing facilities. All rooms in halls have an ethernet port for fast internet access. Hope this is of some help - anything else, don't be afraid to message me again! M0RHI | Talk to me 23:45, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

University of St Andrews

I can really only echo what the previous two posters have said with regards to the town and the university in general. (Incidently, I know M0RHI in real life). I can go into more details on the Computer Science department though. In first year, you study two computer science modules, focusing on Java and programming basics, and some Internet-based programming, again in Java. Second year takes things a step further with algorithms and more fundamental aspects of computing. I've just started my second year, so can't really comment on later years, but the course is good. St Andrews is rated as the best university in Scotland for comp sci by the Guardian, IIRC, and the second best in the UK. The facilities are excellent - indeed, the 2nd year lab has just been kitted out with new 20" iMacs (very nice indeed) - a variety of systems are available and widely used over your four years here. Visit on an open day if you can, it's worth checking out. Good luck! orudge 22:43, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Buff (clothing)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Buff (clothing), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. agtx 05:22, 19 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
