This is a very important piece of St Andrews life. We don't have clubs, we have parties, big fun parties full of individual character. Pubs, houses and dinners are how we do things, and to extremely successful effect - no wonder we regularly have among the highest levels of student satisfaction in the UK (check the table for yourself). Big scale events are a big part of what goes on here, held in a number of specialist venues, mostly out of town, so we're sure to cater to that big night out feel that most 17-23 olds crave.

What's more they are all organised by students, demonstrating just how far you can go in your extra curricular life here, and not served on a plate by the local club, week after week. And these parties are bigger and better than anything you will have come across before. Some are run by the Union, some are run by private student clubs and some are started from scratch by... anyone. Such is the regularity and competition, the quality is very high. And if you want some exciting life experience, you can even help run one.
