Review: Democracy, Voting, and Representation in the Past and Present
The importance of voting is something that is known to the vast majority of students at this University. As a polling clerk at the last European Parliament election, I was delighted to see many St Andrews students turning out to vote, making sure their voices are heard (and making sure I was kept very busy).

In Defence of Climate Activism
It was a sight to behold: merely two weeks after hundreds of St Andrews students formed a front against a climate change, united in unanimous acknowledgment that we, the human species, are killing almost everything we can, already they are derided. Not simply derided by local newspapers but by an online publication run by fellow […]

The relaxing atmosphere of the venue accompanied by the […]
Review: Ambassador’s Ball
The Ambassador’s Ball was a mosaic of black ties, bright lights and warm smiles. A myriad of flags hung from the walls, the décor reflecting the international aesthetic of the university. The air buzzed with the excitement of the students and the fluorescence of the lights. Well-dressed partygoers mixed and mingled, enjoying the complimentary ice […]
Preview: May Ball
This year’s May Ball is slated to be just as grandiose as ever – with fairground rides, big-name acts and an intricately decorated Kinkell Byre. There is little more that screams “St Andrews” than bidding adieu to the Candlemas Semester in style. We had the chance to chat with the Kate Kennedy Club before the […]
