Prince William and Kate Middleton both studied at St. Andrews University in Fife, Scotland, where they fell in love - and the institution is also home to a number of unique traditions
As the exam season is in full swing, thousands of students across the nation are buckling down for some last-minute cramming before they sit their exams that will decide which university they'll be heading to this Autumn. For those students hoping to tread the same path as royalty, St. Andrews in Fife, presents a huge range of opportunities and was even the place where Prince William and Kate Middleton 's love story began.
While many are familiar with the Royal couple's educational journey, not many Royal enthusiasts are aware of the unique traditions that St. Andrews upholds, including an annual dash into the sea fondly known as the May Dip, and even a curse that could result in students failing their degree if they don't take the necessary precautions!, reports the Mirror.Red Gowns St.
The Curse Another intriguing aspect of St. Andrew's is the curse of Patrick Hamilton, who was executed in 1582 for his Protestant beliefs. His initials, PH, are set in cobblestone at the execution site, and superstition holds that any student who steps on them will fail their degree. Raisin Monday While studying at the university, third and fourth year students can "adopt them" a first year student, acting as their mentor and introducing them to student life. The mentoring culminates in mid-October with Raisin Weekend, during which the first years are entertained by their mentors, dressed in fancy dress, and sent to gather in St Salvator's Quad for the annual Raisin Monday foam fight.
