===Academic parents===
The students of the university enjoy an unusual ''family tradition'' designed to make new students feel at home and build relationships within the student body. Traditionally, a Bejant or Bejantine acquires academic parents who are at least in their third year as students, who informally guide and mentor them  in academic and social matters in their time at the university. it is not rare for such academic family ties to stretch well beyond student days. Tradition has it that a Bejant may ask a man to be his ''Senior Man'' but must be invited by a woman who is prepared to be his ''Senior Woman''. Similarly, a Bejantine may ask a male to be her Senior Man but there is no overt ''rule'' regarding how she acquires a Senior Woman. The establishment of these relationships begins at the very start of the first semester – with the aim of being in place ahead of Raisin Weekend.<ref name="St Andrews Fresher">{{Cite web|title=St Andrews Fresher A guide to academic families|url=http://www.standrewsfreshers.com/index.php?content=traditions&subcontent=academic_families|access-date=31 December 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120718063819/http://www.standrewsfreshers.com/index.php?content=traditions|archive-date=18 July 2012}}</ref>
