I feel there is a lot to be desired such as the car park being a charged car park and not being big enough to take all the cars so you are not guaranteed a space even if you pay for the permit. Specific to my course I wish there was more time to study and to fully understand things.
Parking is a big issue. There's not enough spaces for those travelling and the permits don't take into account realistic tracing requirements.
Parking is very limited and expensive. Lack of study spaces.
Lots of ways.
I love the small campus and tight-knit community, and the support is wonderful. Equality is one of the main focuses of the uni, and I felt that in support as well.
Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh has been a great place to study so far. Due to the small class size I get plenty of support and personal attention from lecturers, which has really helped my learning. The campus is modern and well-equipped, with a great library and comfortable accommodation. I also love that it’s in a peaceful area. As for the downsides? So far, so good—I haven’t had any major issues! I’m loving it .
Best - as a student commuting, i am very close to train station worst - having to come in for short days
Best - location and homey feel Worst - parking and not as many study spaces
The library doesn’t have enough seats which is always a fight. The lecturers are nice
It’s a nice small campus, therefore isn’t overwhelming and very welcoming. Staff are friendly, great canteen with different variety. Great course and lovely lecturers.
It’s a nice small campus so you feel comfortable and at home
The opportunities to socialise within the sports and societies at my university were such a boom to my university life, allowing me to make so many friends and memories which will be with me for the rest of my life. Trying to book a room within the university campus is sometimes a chore and the support behind that system feels lacking at most times, as well communication with lecturers can sometimes be difficult, though that differs from lecturer to lecturer, with some being incredibly keen to respond and others not taking the time to.
Small university which is good as it means that everything is all in the same place. It is conveniently placed next to the train station which is a 5 minute journey to Edinburgh. Class sizes are smaller than most other universities which allows you to get to know your classmates and lecturers better. Good variety of sports and societies which are very fun and allows you to meet new people and make friends.
Has a really good sports and society section of student life allowing students meet so many different people and get involved in lots of fun activities. The student support is great as well, having a smaller student body has allowed me to get to know my lecturers better and get the most of my learning time. As a drama student I feel that the facilities are fairly sparse for practical spaces especially as we have to share amount many years groups and with societies as well
Societies are a great way to meet people and are very inclusive and friendly, staff are so friendly and the environment is quiet and full of nature
The university is smaller than other universities which gives classes a lot more of an intimate feel and makes my learning more personal to me as all my lectures know my name and my learning needs.
I love this uni, the staff and students are so friendly and there’s a lot of support and fun on campus. The uni is set in such a beautiful quiet place that is also very convenient
I think this uni is perfect for those that struggle with mental health issues and the impacts that that can have on work as the support system here is brilliant.

I love the location and the fact that it’s not so busy, but I do believe more parking closer would be nice.
