Nursing, Year 2
It was a great way of meeting people and just trying to be more sociable with others however as I only seen them once or twice it was difficult to stay in touch. It gives a good starting point in talking to others which helped when meeting people on your first day on your course. So freshers week was quite helpful Queen Margaret have been so useful in knowing where the places are if you are struggling and have a big support system in place of you are struggling The facilities are brilliant. There's lots of room in deciding where to go to study plus having maggies on campus gives that break and a place to relax for a while which is needed maybe after a hard day revision or lectures I love the course as the lecturers are absolute lovely and are always trying to help as much as they can. They have a huge support system if anyone's struggling and are very understanding The city life isn't too far from Musselburgh. Only being six minutes on the train. So it's really close by with lots to do and a good way of interacting with the new friends you will make

Nursing, Graduate
It was really good! Lots of goodies, met people from my course and lots of drink of course I've never lived in uni halls. But from what I've seen, it's modern, up to date and up to requirements Love the library. It's my second home. Student union is cosy, and the classrooms are bigger than need be :) The lecturers look out for you, they know your name and your needs/worries and really couldn't have done this course without their continued support it's been good! Calm in the day, electric at night

Film, Year 4 Plus
Entered directly in to 3rd year and the university was extremely helpful and welcoming - it organises a week specifically for direct entry students the week before class begins which is incredible. I enjoy every single module and have excellent lecturers who are considered highly in the industry, along with securing incredibly influencial guest speakers. The campus is excellent and has well beyond every resource I could dream off. The university is currently the 3rd top in the UK for employment rates and I believe I will find a graduate job thanks to Queen Margaret University.

Psychology / Criminology, Year 2
It was really good! lots of employment opportunities , there was also a variety of sports and societies to join! amazing social aspect as well, everything was executed really well! I loved the accommodation. Really spacious and on campus so really really good. It was a bit on the expensive side for what it was though Facilities are amazing! Everything is on campus which is so good, the library is open 24 hours which is amazing and the student union is so handy, very cheap food and drink and over all amazing. The sports facilities are amazing too! The lectures are good because they're really in depth and every lecturer really cares about the students! City life was amazing. The uni was really close to the city centre, only a short train or bus ride away! amazing nightlife too

Physiotherapy / Occupational, Graduate
Lots of friendly faces around and all were extremely welcoming. Helped to make the transition from school to uni a much smoother process You get what you pay for and it's nice to share a flat with some like minded students Lots of sports opportunities through the sports centre and different clubs. Student union are extremely helpful with everything, nothing is ever too much The course is very inclusive and the lecturers are fantastic. They really help guide you through the programme and are there to help with anything, not just uni related issues I love Edinburgh. So much to do and so many places to go, there is something for people of all ages

Coming from college into 3rd is daunting but being at a close knit and friendly university helped greatly. Everyone knows each other and is on hand to help each other.

Nursing, Third Year
Queen Margaret is such a great uni, there is so much support from the lecturers and staff. You never feel alone as there is always someone to help you! The lectures are very personal due to the small numbers ( although this means you aren't noticed if you miss one) but that's good because you want to be there. The clinical skills module for nursing is amazing, you have a skills class every week and plenty of time where you can go in and practice for yourself. Overall it's just such a great uni, the people are lovely it's friendly the societies are close and there is a family feel to the place!

Medicine, Year 3
The freshers fair was hectic, but had all the information you needed. The SU did some events for postgraduates which were good too. It is all on campus which is useful, but only one small shop is not enough. The nearest place to buy groceries is too far away (20 minute walk) and the nearest town centre is a 25-30 minute walk. The accommodation itself is typical of modern British universities--has everything you need. All facilities of a good standard. But just need more e.g. A proper shop/ supermarket to buy groceries and a bigger SU as it wouldn't fit even a third of the students at the uni. The library was spacious and well laid out. The lecturers themselves were very welcoming and friendly. The tech available was also good. Not very comfortable lecture/ seminar rooms though and often too small Qmu is not in the city but it was easy to hop on the train and be in the centre in 5 minutes.
