“One of the best universities in the world, but not the best student service”
Siyoon Y
Korea, South, Undergraduate
Business Studies, 2023
OverallCourse reviews highly depend on your faculty or professor of the proposed course. Some professors are enthusiastic about teaching while some others seem to be far more interested in their own research.

“review of the university of Edinburgh”

Overall
The University of Edinburgh has some great courses and useful resources. However, there tends to not be much help in essay writing or preparing for exams, or no one to go to with any extra help.

I would recommend the isles f.e skye for travel. The international student centre is a fantastic institution run by students which organises nice excursions and some funny event. You can also be a volunteer for them. In Edinburgh I would recommend you to join one of the hundreds societies - that is a fantastic experience.

Accessibility of student needs
Second-hand household items
Personal comments
Don't buy a bedding pack from the University accommodation...they charge about 30 pounds...go to the pound stretcher or pound saver (they are on every corner) and get one for half of that money!!! there are tons of second hand stores around the university area...you can pretty much find anything you want.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I lived in a house with other students. We did not have bills, but it was just like renting in the states. I could come and go as I pleased giving me the freedom to explore. I would choose to do this again because the experience was living like a citizen, not just a student!

Personal comments
The accomodations were set up through my home university. We lived in a large home outside of the city. It was a ten minute bus ride to the University and a 30 minute ride to my internship at the Royal Bank of Scotland. I would choose to live in a house again. There were roommates, but no dorm food! We had to provide for ourselves, but well worth the experience.
