University of Edinburgh 1163 reviews

It doesnt. I have been to one careers talk by google but when it comes to employability (and everything else actually), you're on your own

Lectures are poorly taught, content isnt explained very well at all, the lectureres either talk too quick you cant keep up or too slow you cant pay attention

The union is for posh students, its essentially a big old house full of coffee shops and tories

the computer labs are quite nice to look at, however during multiple programing exams my computer has failed and it affected my final result

people in edinburgh aren't friendly. I lived in accommodation for three months and ended up moving home because i became severely depressed and lonely. The night life is boring, one decent club if you're lucky

There are many societies, I dont go to any because I dont have any friends because Edinburgh university makes no effort to cater for students needs socially

Horrendous, tutors take days to email back, no support for mental health, advice is abismal

no

The career department offers good advice

The teaching is excellent but we have too little contact time (4 hrs a week)

It's very helpful, particularly the student advice section. I havent really gotten involved as i am very busy!

The accomodation was unfinished when i got here and construction work resumed for nonths. We still had to pay in full even though many facilities were and are still missing. Issues ranged from construction workers coming in our flats without warning to noise from 7 am to 5 pm to dust to broken windows not repared etc. Really bad.

Great

It's nice

I haven't attended that many but the few i have were good

Academic - tutors will make an effort to give feedback and advice whenever needed Counselling - i don't know

Not really

Really good lectures, passionate and top of their fields

Facilities are expensive in comparison with other SU's lots of good representation but feels like they don't make anything happen.

Halls were a bit dingy, for how much money we were paying but generally good people. Big mice problems

Under construction

Expensive

The student newspaper is one of the best in the country, really good quality journalism and illustation

Inconsistent, ive been fairly lucky but sometimes are very unhelpful. Counselling seriously underfunded

I don't know

Careers hub can help you find certain jobs.

I enjoy my subjects

Good union facilities, not great student engagement.

Library is very good, don't use many facilities.

A lovely city but the downside is the influence of the youth culture but good for students.

Good but there should be more funding.

Student counselling services

Tutorials are more of a debate gets everyone's opinions across which you might not have considered.

Great

Mansion Fountainbridge. Very cold. Not enough freshers. Staff are unhelpful

Good, student areas. Restaurants cater to student needs e.g. student discount.

Hard to find them

Not sure, only a first year

Lots of emails from careers department and also course heads and lecturers.

1 hour/week per tutor. Teaching is good especially on my geography courses.

Good

(Mansion fountainbridge) It's good but building work starts 7am every morning. If we were told this, I might've chosen elsewhere.

Lots of study spaces

Really good- lots on

Good, welcoming and well organised

We can ask for help if we need it; tutors always say when they're available.

My work placement was terrible and had to shorten it.

I enjoyed the applicability between students and teachers.

It's very active and it has great facilities.

Very good

It's a beautiful city

I used the counselling service a lot and its helped me every time.

Helps refugee camps in Greece.

Medicine has professional development pathways throughout the course.

Good lecturers although they need to record the lectures more often.

Representation opportunities available and good union.

Modern and lovely accommodation although a bit small rooms.

Gym facilities are great; on-campus rooms etc are in good condition.

Good night-life and lovely city in general.

Lots of clubs and societies for varied interests.

Good support, just haven't needed to use it yet.
