Edinburgh is an open minded and welcoming city. Most people you encounter at the University of Edinburgh will be willing to help you out and get settled. Its a very prestigious and academically rigorous institution, however the university provides student support throughout the whole academic experience.

Its not compulsory to have a placement/internship as prt of the degree, so it is up to each student to pursue this.

Nice uni! Haven't looked at the town a lot yet, tho. Appart from clubs which are great.. I think I need to allow myself some daytime out in the town because since I got here I have been sleeping through most of the days. Oh well. I am kinda disappointed with the union tho, It's really far away and I dont like the events.
