Uni is alright, I like that I was able to find a really good payed job with their help. I am also pretty happy with my course besides the part that I am really busy. If you are coming here and you need to support youself throughout your studies you should kNw that it is hard. I think that putting in hard work is really rewarding tho. Good luck!
This is a great university. I am absolutely loving both my course and the student experience. Of course I have a lot to study and a lot to do but it is really interesting and engaging. My placement is really great as well, I think I am getting on really well with the staff of the hospital and I might even consider it as a real job perspective when I graduate.
Such a great town, Edinburgh. It is most deffinetly the place to be, so are the halls and our society parties are just the bomb. Reccomended club to join - Scotish sport group of guys ;)
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.
Edinburgh is great, I love the nightlife, its an easy pull. The girls are great, so are the rest of the people. My course is ok, kind of boring but I have some brilliant lecturers. Other than the nightlife, there are plenty of other things to do in this beautiful city. the sports through the university were great.
I have been at both St Andrews and Edinburgh university, both institutions are excellent and I have really enjoyed my time here. I definitely would recommend both of them and I am very glad that I studied with them.
First off, Edinburgh is a fantastic place to live and study in. This University will open many doors for you in the future, particularly if you're studying science/medicine etc (I'm studying BSc Biological Sciences (Hons)). If you're also aspiring to do biology here, the course in the first semester isn't especially great but only because its very general as they're trying to show you all aspects of biology in order for you to accurately pick your honours with regards to your interests. The lecturer's/practical leaders are in general very good however it is a totally different way of learning from school so be prepared. There were a couple of particularly bad lecturer's but they change a lot so you're not going to have a bad one for long. The lecturer's who covered the difficult parts of the course were all fantastic. The accommodation however is DISGUSTING and is the only thing I'm not enjoying so far about being here. I stay in self-catered South Clerk Street and it really is horrible (mice, flies, constantly have no hot water, smell of dampness, bad kitchen appliances, bad furnishings in rooms, the list goes on...). However this is the most cheap accommodation and I have been in the nicer self-catered flats which seem very nice to live in and people who live there enjoy it so my advice is to steer clear of the University cheap self-catered flats. One huge good point though is that you meet so many really lovely people staying in halls, so I would recommend it, just not South Clerk Street! Pollock I have never been to however I've heard the food isn't all that great so it's a waste of money to go catered. Overall, I would recommend Edinburgh as it is the highest ranked Uni in Scotland(just now) and you will go places with a degree from here.
