Many people who visit the Abbey want to commemorate such great men as William Shakespeare, Charles Darwin, Isaac Newton, Robert Burns, Bernard Show, Lord Byron, Walter Scott, Geoffrey Chaucer, and many others. The history of Westminster Abbey dates back to the Middle Ages or even the earlier times, as 900 years ago St. Peter found the first church on the place, where the Abbey is now situated. The present building appeared during the reign of Henry III. There is one more reason why people are highly interested in Westminster Abbey.

Did you enjoy your year out before university?
"I loved my gap year. I wish I could have another one."
What was the highlight of that year?
"I loved working on a farm in England. It was the best part of my year. I enjoyed the fact I was put as a hand and was paid and was just another guy on the farm. I got my hands dirty, did all the chores and had to get up at 4 am. I got to see a completely different lifestyle."
What did you think of your three months in Africa?

Are you excited about moving away from home and being able to take more control of your life?

I'll be a long way from friends at home. I known a couple of guys at St Andrews who are older and a couple in ma year, but most of my friends are at the other universities. So I would like to spend weekends with my new friends. Weekends at St Andrews I've been told are rather quiet. I'm not a party animal, despite what people might think, but I like to go out sometimes like anyone else."
