University of Edinburgh

Great uni, lovely city to live in, a the staff are really supportive and we get lots of cool new courses that other unis don't offer like programming for economics

My experience studying a PhD in Counselling at University of Edinburgh has been wonderful so far. My supervisors are amazing, and I'm continuously offered extracurricular activities to help expand my professional development.

University is amazing. It gives you so much more freedom than what you had at high school. Much more independent learning and more opportunities to do extra curricular activities to broaden your skills.

My university experience has been life changing and has helped me develop hugely into who I am. I've learnt so much about myself and have improved my people skills dramatically. I have some of the best friends for life and some of the best memories from university. First yeat in halls was so much fun and I loved it, but Year 2 is even better. I'm really enjoying living with my friends and having our own space and learning to be independent. My cooking skills have come along hugely and I feel like a comfortable cooker now. I am enjoying every minute of my time at uni.

Freshers was really good fun as everyone was meeting new people however freshers came with the freshers flu which meant that a lot of people were ill during freshers Pollock Halls was catered accommodation the food was not bad. I was lucky enough to have my own ensuites which was nice! The facilities are very good with both a main library and a the law library which were really nice. During the first week there were trials for sports teams and there were so many sports available to join which was great! There are also various societies which were very inclusive and a good opportunity to meet new people! I feel lucky to have started at a time when corona was not around which meant I could attend lectures and tutorials which gave me a good insight into uni life. Tutorials are held in smaller groups and it was a lot easier to engage in discussions and debates without feeling too much pressure Edinburgh as a city is great as not only does it offer the city life but you are never far away from beautiful countryside environments and reservoirs- for example arthurs seat and Carlton hill which are within walking distance from the halls of residence!

Very busy but very enjoyable Very new and clean. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful too Library was always busy but a great place to study. Classrooms mostly fully equipped The lecturers were really interesting and knowledgable about their topics. Course is very varied which is great Small but great since everything is in walking distance. Many places to visit. Been here for 4 years and still have so many places i want to visit

Freshers weeks was amazing. There were so many fun activities both with the main uni and the vet school. I meet so many amazing people and had a great time The accomodation was really good and they had some options for every need. There was a good price range and both catered and no catered choices The facilities are really good. The library is lovely. The vet school building has loads of great features and some really great study spaces Our course is very interactive with loads of practical classes. We get a lot of hands on time with animals. Our lecturers are also amazing and really go the extra mile to help us out The city is great. Everything is within walking distance making it all very accessible. There are loads of cute independent cafes which is great and some really cool shops

I am enjoying university life and having a very positive experience. I am enjoying more independence and being more responsible for my learning. I have also found that the university have a very strong support system and a good mentor system. The work to do and where to find it is also clearly laid out.

Busy! Lots of meeting new people, socialising and exploring a new city My accommodation was a little further out of the city than most, but there were a lot of us there so we could have house parties there rather than always going out All good, more than one campus means you have options when it comes to picking a library with space, and the student union had great socials on a Saturday night Lectures given by specialists, and lots of practical sessions. Really enjoy all practicals as they are all so different and relevant to the course Lovely living in the capital city of Scotland. Great day and nightlife, in a city with amazing history and culture

It was grear, lots of activities and events held. Was able to meet a lot of people through the events Comfortable space, friendly staff and a good location All facilities provided were well maintained and friendly staff. Easily useable facilities The staff were really apprachable and the method of teaching was really good It was amazing with lots of things to explore and lots of restaurants to try out
