And, after their honeymoon, you might even run into them or one of the guests who attended the Wedding of the Century.
St. Andrews, Scotland
Long before Will and Kate enrolled at the university in 2001, St. Andrews' reputation as the home of golf made it a popular tourism destination. But it's not just the greens bringing in the green these days.
The 600-year-old University of St. Andrews, the oldest in Scotland, has 7,500 students, with 11 candidates vying for every opening. Slightly more than half are women, some of whom may hope to snag their own Prince Charming. Given that St. Andrews ranks as the top matchmaking university in Britain, with one in 10 students finding their future partner, they've got a fair shot.
Fraser McIntosh, one of the university's "senior ambassadors" - the austere title seems at odds with the fourth-year student's fresh-faced looks and youthful enthusiasm - leads me on a two-hour wander around this compact town, where tidy stone buildings and castle ruins cling to a stunning coastline.
Classrooms, administrative buildings, and dormitories are so thoroughly integrated with the town's shops, houses, hotels, and pubs (of which there are more per square foot than anywhere else in the United Kingdom, my guide says) that a student might accidentally make his way to a bar instead of his desk.
We begin in St. Salvator's quad. The grassy gathering place abutting a 15th-century chapel has been the site of everything from raves to an annual foam fight among freshmen. This is where Will and Kate appeared on Feb. 25 before an audience of 600 staff and students, including my guide, to launch the university's 600th anniversary celebrations.
