13. St. Andrews, Scotland – A Storybook University Town by the Sea
With its medieval cobblestone streets, castle ruins, and sweeping seaside cliffs, St. Andrews is one of the most breathtaking college towns in the world. Home to the University of St. Andrews—where Prince William met Kate Middleton—the town feels straight out of a historical romance or a period drama. The weathered stone buildings and gothic spires evoke scenes from a Jane Austen novel, while the windswept beaches provide a cinematic backdrop perfect for a poignant seaside moment. Whether it’s wandering through the ancient cathedral ruins or enjoying a cozy café tucked inside a centuries-old structure, St. Andrews is a film set waiting to happen.
