Decent teaching, shame there's no guaranteed access to computers that give admin rights for computing students who need them. There are sometimes classes on that interrupt study.

My campus, sighthill, isn't in a great location but is quite a nice campus. The library should be open for longer, though. I like how the library and Kilby in merchiston are 24 hours.

It’s good that the kilby is open 24 hours , and it feels like a safe and comfortable environment

The Merchiston campus is a maze! Not much to be done about it though, but campus maps would have been helpful when I started. Having the university split up over the city is also a bit inconvenient for getting to gym facilities and other societies as they are over 45mins bus ride away. Having exams in another campus is also an inconvenience that most could do without. To make up for it the staff and individual facilities are all very good, just shame about where and how it is all laid out. Other universities like Glasgow Caledonian have it better with everything in one place.
Free or reduced price Student parking could be made available.
I think it’s a good place to study but because of the location it is hard for me to get to and I would prefer to drive but because there is no student parking facility’s it makes this impossible, with my college last year the students were provided with free parking and I think a university should be the same
The computing centre is a big help for sitting down and getting work done outwith class. As someone who lives outwith Edinburgh and has to commute it would be handy if there were parking permits made available for students so I could spend more time maybe doing work at the campus rather than being limited to just 4 hours for quite a high price

Meeting new people within the university
Majority of lecturers are always eager to help Facilities are open 24hrs (kilby) makes late night studying easier Student support is vast so plenty of help available for students struggling
Food is good
Staff makes you want to attend classes, they’re all helpful and extremely understanding.
