Best aspects is living so close to campus and the support offered
Yay!
The uni has been such a pleasant surprise to join - it feels like a 2nd home and has become somewhere I really enjoy
Hybrid learning doesn’t work, prerecorded lectures, lack of student spaces
Great place to study, terrible night life
Best aspects: living in halls and being close to campus Worst: nothing i can think of
The university has a lot more support than other universities in Edinburgh however it’s quite small in size. I feel it would have been beneficial if location was more central to central Edinburgh.
Best expletive is having a close connection with lecturers. It’s enables me to have more one-to-one experience. Which helps you a lot when you’re stressed. Worst experience is student union, as they don’t really offer a huge amount of events which are enticing to attend
Best experience - Opportunity and more one to one with lecturers Worst experience - student union events arent the best
Great course lecturers are very supportive and make it a great learning environment
I love this uni so much, there’s so much support and it’s a great place to learn
More accessiblity
The best aspect is the closeness of everything. Everyone knows everyone (especially if you're active with the union and sports and societies), theres a lot to do both during and after teaching hours and there's a ton of support. Something bad would be the loneliness but I guess thats just something that comes with university.
All good
Library is open 24 hours which is great Maggies is nice a s chill and does good food
Lot of work
It is great that all the facilities are close together but some of the courses could be handled better.
The environment and the people you meet through sports societies
The facilities are modern and there is access to enough materials to make working easy and accessible. I would improve the system in place to get private study rooms.


best aspects are being able to walk to university within 5 minutes
best aspects is that i believe the course is very interesting and i like how a lot of it is in person
the others surrounding flats are loud
