The people here strike me as though everyone is playing his own little role. Not just the stu- dents, but also the faculty and administration. It ' s as though people are afraid to break down and know each other as they really are, so they remain in their safe, artificial role. -a St. Andrews junior One of the things that im- presses me is what students don ' t know about each other because of the confining set- tings they see one another in. I really don ' t think the students know an awful lot about each other. -a St. Andrews professor I feel that SA, with the suite se- tups in the dorm, is very con- ducive to close relationships with other people because you have the opportunity to live with them at a closer range than the normal dorm situation allows. —a St. Andrews sophomore To me it seems like SA is made up of a bunch of people trying to prove themselves to be indi- viduals who really just need other people and who are trying to prove to the world they don ' t need other people, —a St. Andrews sophomore

And you will inevitably come face to face with other students who have different viewpoints, different skin, another religion, more or less money, greater or lesser sophistication-but you will learn how to open up to them and to communicate. ' You will learn how to speak your own mind, be honest with yourself, be real with others, open up as an individual. -Personal Power People from St. Andrews ac t like a bunch of kids just let out from Sunday school. —an observer This is about as heterogeneous a college as you ' ll find any- where. You can find people here with about any interest un- der the sun-socialite to in- tellectual with everything in between. —a St. Andrews freshman A lot of the people come across to me as really bourgeois. We do have individuals but as a group they come ac ross as arti- ficial and plastic. —a St. Andrews freshman
