After school, I decided to go to university. I CHOSE St Andrews University in Scotland. At that time I DIDN'T KNOW much about the University but when I arrived there, I liked it at once. Now I'm in my last year and I wish I COULD stay here forever! St Andrews University is a truly special place. It WAS BUILT 600 years ago and it is one of the oldest universities in the English-speaking world. It has many traditions – for example, the ‘May Dip’. It is held on the FIRST of May every year. All the students run into the North Sea at sunrise to celebrate the coming of spring and for good luck in their exams! One of my classmates said that the tradition HAD HELPED him to pass his exams last summer. For me the ‘May Dip’ was the COLDEST experience of my life! Because the weather is famously cold, St Andrews students designed THEIR own uniform which consists of a warm jacket, jeans and boat shoes. The uniform MAKES us all look the same, but it is the only way to keep warm!
