MCINTOSH HALL
University of St. Andrews
THE COMMITTEE
Our Committee is a student body that exists to serve our members. We’re a student-run and student-elected bunch who love a great social and believe fervently in representing your views.
The Committee is made of the Executive Committee (residents who have lived in hall for at least one semester) and the Non-Executive Committee (open to everyone). All positions are elected at our April and September General Meetings.
We’re here for you, so grab us at a meal, in the common room, or shoot us a message!
