The city is nice (though it is true that it is expensive) The uni..I do not suggest you to come here. If you want to do nothing for the first two years, and you are a feminist, this is your place.
Lack of support in 1st year (although I lived in uni halls) led me to drop out of my course after Summer exams. Now I returned to uni after 16 months, but still uncertain whether I really want it.
Really enjoying my time at Edinburgh
I was a straight A student at school, my average now is 46%. Dreams die here, dont come here, people are rude and horrible and no one cares about your problems. Edinburgh takes independent study to a whole new level, I feel bad for students that have to pay tuition because they really arent getting their moneys worth at all!
University with high profile, but still need improvements. Feedback usually takes ages and changes to courses too. Edinburgh, however, is a wonderful city with great spirit and atmosphere.
This is an awesome university! not so awesome food though.
With very minor exceptions, it is a truly remarkable university.
The University of Edinburgh provides excellent teaching as well as opportunities to develop as professionals. The environment encourages learning. The city of Edinburgh in itself is a great setting for cultural and professional development.
The university is great.
the course is very good and there are many teaching opportunities. edinburgh is a great place to live
The university facilities are in excellent quality, but the main problem is that sometimes if not quite often, it is not easy to find a spare seat (especially in the library). Furthermore, the accommodation is expensive and some accommodations are far away from the campus which is a problem if you have an early lecture.
The university accommodation is not suitable for students who want a more close-knit community. The university campus is also spread-out throughout the city, so there is almost no campus life either.
The labs for the courser are really useful and furthermore they give you a lot of experience of what you are learning, which is the most important aspect. The thing I like about my accommodation is that there is food included and the city life is great! I think some of the lecturers are great as they are funny and teach the course very well.
The university has a good, welcoming atmosphere. Overall the staff (both academic and non-academic) are very keen to help with any issue and in any way they can. The university values our opinions, likes engaging with the students and likes to keep us informed about what is going on.
None
Really good university! Full of opportunities. Best time of my life
