#Latest news with #AmericanStudentsTimes19-05-2025GeneralTimesUh oh, America's East Coast elite have taken over sleepy St AndrewsYou hear it in the Californian drawls at dinner parties. You feel it when a New Yorker lands into freshers week and knows a quarter of their cohort. You see it in the apartments that resemble New England summer homes. Nearly one in five students at the University of St Andrews are American — more than any other university in the UK — and it shows. Tucked into the once sleepy East Neuk of Fife, the town has been turned into what some call 'mini-Nantucket', where around every street corner you hear an American accent. This is not your average British university experience. Over the past two decades St Andrews has been transformed from a quaint, windswept Scottish university into a globally recognised academic institution
