I've enjoyed every day I've spent at Edinburgh - the campus and lecturers are brilliant, the course is interesting and challenging and the city is just beautiful. Coming to Edinburgh Uni was the best decision I've ever made.

Edinburgh is great.... Mostly. Amazing campus, great facilities and Teviot (the student union building) looks like it is from Harry Potter.

Fun university to go to. Very diverse with the city/campus life put together which makes it great. In a great location with plenty to do. Actual lectures were no where near as good as I thought it would be. Tonnes of socials available and clubs to join in.

Lecturers and the union need to improve their relationships with the students. Lecturers do not teach the theory well. Mark schemes are not given for past papers, so we're never knowing what we're doing is right. The union does not care for the rest of us. They only seek to improve their careers down the line.

Absolutely brilliant, got everything you could need alongside a world class degree! the city is beautiful, nightlife is lively with options for everyone. There are so many societies, from comedy to trading, debates to a student led think tank. Edinburgh's a world leading university so career opportunities are better than most! the university and city is welcoming, students friendly and staff encouraging!

Great uni, but abysmal feedback. Note: Edinburgh gives out hardly any 1st class degrees, it seems!!

I absolutely love Edinburgh - yes, the union is still recovering, and yes, some of the teaching isn't up to scratch, and yes, we have a broken lecture theatre... However, there are enough people willing to put their time and effort into our union (have you seen the building?!), enough excellent staff members to make sure you can always get the help you need, and we do have some fabulous labs (come on, we do quantum experiments in third year physics!)... On top of all that, we have one of the most stunning campuses in the world, dozens of places to work and socialise, and some absolutely fantastic societies who are all waiting to welcome you.
