I think the university accommodation is very convenient. There should be more shuttle buses, especially in the morning and evening.
I was originally attracted to Edinburgh because of the beautiful city and the high ranking of '17th best' in the world. While the city has never disappointed, I've failed to see any proof of the uni's high ranking. Lectures are not engaging and most students do not speak up in tutorial groups. I will be leaving after my first year.
I would definitely reccommend University of Edinburgh to deciding students.Edinburgh is a very friendly city and the individual schools want to guarantee students as satisfied as possible.
Incredible city, with a high academic standard and wonderful facilities, would reccommend to anybody
It's good
Love the schools
Love this university, would highly recommend but its quite competitive. Very diverse student body and an amazing city to live in.
Most of the lectures' content is interesting. There is a lot to do in the city (like cinemas). Sometimes there are not enough free spaces in the main library. The students' union is always friendly. And finding a job is fairly easy and the university also helps us regarding this. My overall opinion about the university is very positive.
I LOVE IT HERE
I made lots of new friends here. Also. I learned a lot about society and the political world which I have found interesting. Most importantly,I have matured as a person for city/ further living.
Excellent university with exceptional facilities and an international reputation. However, there is room for improvements in student support and basic teaching of lectures/tutorials
good facilities good accommodation. Would recommend to anyone interested in social sciences or business. Also very good student life at the halls of residence.
Great uni, great support for almost anything you'd ever need
A good, but not excellent university.
UoE is a top rate university and I am so grateful that I'm here. Excellent and knowledgeful lecturers (of course some better than others), great support from academic staff and great facilities. The city and the friendly atmosphere definitely is part of my love for this uni.
over all really good experience so far
Amazing lecturers which have made for an enjoyable four years studying what I love! The city in which the university is based makes attending Edinburgh University even easier! The family environment in the schools which I have been a part of have been great! Wide variety of clubs and societies, which I would have got involved in more if the course wasn't so heavy!
Fantastic reputation, beautiful city...but very average teaching. Very little professor-student contact, minimal help from the university for post-grad plans.
4.2
Really a good university to study at and enjoy university life.People here are very friendly and kind. Scenery in Edinburgh is really nice,there are so many visiting old sites to have a look.Edinburgh is no doubt a great choice of having university life.
