Jess Verrall, 2nd Year Russian and Modern History Student, on Logie’s Lane:

the stand: Do you spend a lot of time in the library?
JV: No, I use the Medieval History one.

the stand: Have you ever been to a museum here?
JV: Not to visit it, but I went to the loo in a museum once.
 

the stand: Where do you enjoy going to in St Andrews?
JV: To the caravan park by East Sands.

the stand: What drink do you normally get on a night out?
JV: A gin and tonic, oh, and turbo diesel. I’m classy like that. 

Rob Grundy, 4th Year Spanish and French Student, on Market Street:

the stand: What’s your favourite place in St Andrews?
RG: Well… It depends what genre you’re talking about. But I guess Beanscene. And then the library. This is really sad.

the stand: Do you like the new library? 

RG: At first, yes. Not so much now. You can’t perv on people as much, there seems to be fewer spaces, you feel segregated from people.
 

the stand: If you were to be a hall of residence, which would you choose?
RG: McIntosh. Or Sallies, because it’s central and social. Although a lot of wankers live in Sallies.
 

the stand: Your plans for tonight?
RG: I’m definitely going to the LGBT social at the Vic. They host the best events. 
  

the stand: Do you think St Andrews is a Scottish University or a University in Scotland?
GS: Definitely a Scottish university.

the stand: Which do you prefer: South Street or North Street?
GS: South, because of all its businesses. It’s got a butcher’s shop and two cheesemongers, what else do you need?

the stand: The nicest beach?
GS: Ibiza. Then East Sands, with its smooth beachscape framed by the golf course.
