Welcome to St Regulus Hall

The friendliest hall in St Andrews

Scene Stealers

Regs is famous for its social scene. We throw the best events – in fact, the right to party is even in our constitution!

Old Meets New

Regs is uniquely both modern and historical. Our traditional events go back decades, but we aren’t afraid to try something new!

Hall = Home

Regs isn’t just a place – we’re a family! We pride ourselves on being one of the most close-knit, communal halls in town.

About us

St Regulus Hall, affectionately nicknamed Regs, is one of the oldest, smallest and friendliest halls in St Andrews.

We are best known for our close-knit community, our sense of hall pride, and of course, the legendary Regs party.

Regs is a traditional catered hall of residence for undergraduate students, located centrally but quietly near the beautiful buildings of St Mary’s Quad and the Bute Medical Centre. We are one of the smallest residences, housing around 175 residents, split between the main hall and the nearby Annexe building. The Main Hall houses most residents, with about 30 in the Annexe. We are very conveniently located for all students, due to our location right in the centre of town with a direct path to the North Haugh, where the majority of the science buildings are located.

While being a traditional hall, Regs has an informal ‘family’ feel, which is the number one reason for returning cited by older students. One of the best times to experience the Regs atmosphere is at dinner, when the whole hall can eat together in our charming dining hall, and then move on to socialise in the library, common room, or games room. Another such time is at one of the (in)famous Regs parties, organised by the student committee.
