Okay, where do I begin... The best part about Pentland House is that the apartment complex is new and has a nice aesthetic feeling to it. That's about it. The building smells awfully like sweat all the time and the air is super heavy, as the air ventilation system sucks. The building is quite far away from the campus, meaning you have to allow yourself at least 45mins by bus to get to the city centre. During rush hour it might be even worse. There's Circuit laundry, but there are only 10 washers and dryers altogether. That being said, you might end up waiting to get your washing done for several hours. The walls are also super thin and you can hear ppl who are several floors up. Building management is lovely and the staff are generally friendly, even though you might not see them a lot. Common areas tend to be dirty during the weekend but are regularly cleaned during the weekdays.

Postgraduate accommodation. Location, close to many amenities and good public transport connections however not close to any university buildings. Building, all brand new and complete to very high quality. Cleaned regularly and nice staff. Social, I would say mixed. Socials organised by Resident Assistants (RAs) but designed for people brand new to Edinburgh/UK. Apart from poor location in my view, very nice accommodation.
