Part 2 - During the building works they also blocked off half of the building, which did not allow us access to the washing machines till late at night. This caused a huge disruption to my schedule. We attempted to get these issues solved with the staff, all apart from George weren’t helpful at all. We continued to be woken up from the works at 7-9pm everyday. The staff also treated our home as theirs, welcoming them selves into our flat and knocking on all our doors to have a discussion with us in the kitchen. When the works were to be carried out in our flats, they tried to chuck us out to live in another flat, when viewing this flat it was not cleaned at all and filled with flies and rubbish. Despite how cheap this accommodation is, it is not worth saving your money . The whole experience caused me depression and anxiety constantly throughout the stay, minimising my potential at university - as a law student my degree needs a lot of attention and I could not maintain it in this acom

Big campus for the capital city of Scotland. Love the surroundings and the amount of green spaces, as well as fresh air quality and low traffic. Very good living condition. But, some facilities are not really well-equipped or spaced enough. Such as by having a microwave in every cafe in Central could improve traffic and usage of facilities to its potential e.g. 50 GS cafe, 40 GS social study space, Quad cafe. Moreover, some facilities like the Main Library is overcrowded but there are no alternatives given with the same amount of equipments are not in par. Another issue is that Edinburgh has a housing issue, which is very concerning for international students that does not have guarantors. Some study space as well as lecture halls does not have enough chargers or none at all, making it hard to utilise electronic devices for more efficiency.

I love Edinburgh University College of Art. It’s like someone decided they were going to make a school where they taught only fun things and what you got out of the experience was actually beneficial to real life after Uni. I used to fear work in the future separate from University but the way that my course is taught and the environment that it is given in has already provided me with enough confidence that my job won’t rule me instead I can make the rules doing what I love.

Wifi could be faster and there could be more study spaces as the libraries are often crowded. Besides that, beautiful campus and great teachers and tutors.

perfect place for science and engineering students at the University of Edinburgh due to its locations, its literally like a 7-10 minute walk to the heart of the King's Building campus. The rooms are great, the administration is great and they host various event every month within the property as well, such as Movie nights etc I loved my experience and would highly recommend it

The cafe is lively and organised, with quick service and plenty of options. There could be more indoor places to sit to enjoy your own food, but otherwise a great Campus.
