As students across the country start revising for their upcoming exams, OK! takes a look at the unique traditions that Royal alumni Prince William and Kate Middleton followed during their time at University
As exam season is in full swing, thousands of students across the UK 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 hoping to walk in Royal shoes, St. Andrews in Fife, Scotland offers a plethora of opportunities and was even the place where Prince William and Kate Middleton 's love story began.
The way students wear their gowns also varies by academic year. The official St Andrews website explains: "First years wear theirs fully on the shoulders, then in second year off the shoulders. Third years wear the gown off the left shoulder if they are arts students and the right shoulder if they are studying science. A fourth year student will wear the gown off both shoulders, across the elbow.
This annual tradition happens on the first of May and sees students heading down to East Sands before sprinting into the North Sea to wash away the curse and get their academic studies back on track.
