Beautiful prestigious university, they just don’t offer enough support for people moving into second year private rented accommodation
Kind staff and comfortable service
Great university and facilities
I love living here. Every time I met issues the reception can help me resolve it directly. Fully appreciate their help and enthusiasm
Really good, definitely love it
It is a good place and i like it
The staff are very friendly and always helpful!
I have enjoyed my time at the University. I feel supported and privileged to study here.
Fab experience, however the student accommodation is so limited
The wifi is lost in the wider areas which i'm not sure how that could be improved
Nice receptionists, always there when needed. Corridors always clean.
amazing staff ,especially from the reception center, they are so polite ,help me out of trouble .They deserve to have higher salary .100per cent satisfaction!It is great to be a resident here.
it has been a really amazing experience so far
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
Personally, I haven’t had any negative experiences with the uni yet and I hope it continues that way !
wifi is temperamental but overall a good experience so far
good university i’ve enjoyed my stufies
good as I imagined education is serious
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.
I've enjoyed my time here so far- not much to complain about!
Great university with lovely teachers and staff !
Campus life is fun, but I often stay indoors so I don’t know much
Great facilities, excellent service, friendly staff and a great cultural and academic atmosphere.
WiFi works very well, however the course arrangement is quite confusing, cuz the course takes place in different locations and they are far from each other.
I’v been living here for more than one month so far, the service and conditions here are very good. I also like all of you in the reception, thank you for your kindness and care.
The internet is not that stable which is a little bothering but the rest is so far so good
I love the city and I am enjoying my life here. The teaching team is lovely and you can have great experiences in the campus buildings.
Love the University of Edinburgh! The campus is not only stunning with its historic buildings and vibrant atmosphere but also equipped with modern facilities that enhance the overall learning experience. The professors are passionate and knowledgeable, creating an engaging environment for academic growth. I am truly grateful for my time at the University of Edinburgh and would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a top-notch education and a memorable university life.
I love Uni，It‘s all good，I meet lot of friends！
Very friendly and social university. Campus is beautiful and makes students feel like home away from home. Social activities are taking very seriously and no matter how niche your hobbies are, you’ll find an organized body with similar interests.
Living in 200 Cowgate is wonderful since the location is good and it’s convenient to do almost everything: near to the Royal Mile, near to the university, and lots of stores nearby. There is free breakfast every month and the staff are all warm and kind.
I love it here :) The city is so beautiful and the university provides so much support for international students. They take complaints seriously and do their best to ensure we feel safe and comfortable.
I love The University of Edinburgh.
Nice academic experience and student development program
University of Edinburgh is a dream school for me and now it is finally my school! It is so good to be a student I university of Edin
The University of Edinburgh is such a great institution for students from all around the world cause their professor team are amazing and professional. They are very friendly and always encourage us whatever we do or speak. It is quite inspirational cause, as a Taiwanese student, we do really need some encouragement when we’re learning some brand new things. So I’m really happy that I chose to study here:)
Universitetin central areası şəhərin mərkəzində yerləşir which is fine. The professors are really helpful. A huge shout out to the Student Development Team as well who helped us focus on our personal and professional growth during the studies.
Overall the campus feels like a high school, it is quite far away from anything, social life is difficult unless you live in campus
Nice place nice uni nice people
Love the university - campus is stunning, student life is interactive and fulfilling, and course lecturers/tutors are incredible. Communication between students and support should be a bit faster and more efficient, and staff ought to be properly compensated for their labor.
Plentiful facilities, ample opportunities, very international friendly and welcoming society
Its good innit really good great teaching!
The university offers a wide range of services, from studies to sports and society clubs, that helps enhancing students' life while at university
Amazing city, would recommend the school of informatics. The classes and tutorials are amazing
There is no doubt that this is a Top university.
University of Edinburgh is a good university.
Teachers are really nice. Welcome week was amazing and I'm looking forward to my stay here.
I am really appreciate everything:)
Good good good good good good good
Location of main campus is very central and Kings campus may be further out but there are plenty of regular buses including the free uni shuttle bus. Good facilities in and around campus particularly the Nucleus (in kings campus) - the food there is lovely! Good study spaces, however during exam season it very busy and hard to find a place. Overall a pretty good university.
I have to say it’s challenging to study here as the workload for study is really really hard. But you can also learn a lot after the tough time.
I had an amazing experience at the University of Edinburgh. The professors are really helpful. A huge shout out to the Student Development Team as well who helped us focus on our personal and professional growth along with the course work.
I came here to study pre-sessional class and I hope I can pass the course. That means I am able to do my master degree in Edinburgh. I think the learning environment here is really helpful for me to study.
there are some locations where Wi-Fi isn't present, the lecture hall positioning is very convenient to get to and most common use rooms will be easy to find, however, some rooms are referred only to their abbreviations or in a building with 50 ish sections isn't generally well navigation able.
Good university with good teaching staff
It's a good university when it comes to the amenities, but the grand intake of foreign students that do not speak a word of English has a harmful impact on people's learning. I would've loved my time if I could've actually had proper conversations during seminars and group sessions. The buildings are super cold during winter months (especially Old College) and the main library has rats, but other than that it's not too bad. The libraries, especially the law library, are good places to study and have proper resources.
I study in the school of Economics for master. I really think our professors and tutors are responsible. The facilities are advance. You can find a place to study either alone or with your group mates.
The university staffs are not really responsible for student future support work
I'm only here for 5 weeks in the summer! The facilities all seem to be nice, but there's not as much student life because a lot people are gone for the summer. It's nice though.
I am grateful for the wonderful services afforded to us students
School teachers, students are very good, the school facilities are very perfect, campus activities are often held. A variety of clubs and career planning help students develop in a well-rounded way.
Generally speaking, it does have a wide range of societies but tends to become cliquey very quickly
All kinds of services are good and there are many shops at South Bridge for students who live here to go. It is very convenient!
great uni facilities. Need more student canteens or places to eat on campus
very good school to study ！！！！
I’ve enjoy study here. Staff are very helpful.
A really good university but no emphasis on individuality
On the whole a good experience however the music building could do with being modernised and updated.
I love it here, its awesome. wooo
Great supportive team of tutors and content
Nice campuses but not enough study spaces, you’re lucky if you can find a seat in the libraries. Good courses and teaching.
The facilities are fantastic and all the staff care for their students
They are very unsupportive and it doesn't seem like they care for the students, they just care about money.
There are a lot of good opportunities
The experience studying in Edinburgh is really good.
Excellent academic community. Various students come from different backgrounds. The teachers come from different places in the world as well.
The friendly and approachable nature of University staff creates a welcoming environment, making it easy for students to seek assistance or simply engage in pleasant conversations.
The experience at Edinburgh does vary a lot by department. There are definitely problems with the management but I’ve had a good academic experience with the School of Philosophy, Psychology and Language Sciences (PPLS).
The university is decent, lecturers are always happy to help. The student union do what they cN but need more support
A really good place to live and I like it.
The university is exactly what I want it to be
For the amount people pay f*** all is provided. They do not even give us hot water when library hot water taps are broken for ages and asking for 2 pounds in library for some ramen. DO NOT COME HERE. This uni is cheap asf and doesn’t care about its students. We’re just cash cows really. Such a joke of a university
Striking every year because staffs are underpaid.
Fantastic city to live in as a student at the University of Edinburgh.
Amazing university campus and university experience. Could be better student support and more contact time.
Amazing university with helpful facility and support
The coursework is too much!!!!!
It is really fun to study at the university of Edinburgh! The Student Union and the Societies regularly organize exciting and interesting events where you can get to know other students. The university buildings are in a very good condition. The seminars are interactive and focused on joint discussions. The only shortcoming of the university is that there are hardly any local Scottish students. This makes it a bit more difficult if you are interested in intercultural exchange. In addition, essential courses in my program were cancelled last minute without providing adequate replacements. In view of the high tuition fees, I found this very unfortunate.
It’s quite an interesting life
Overall, a nice university. I like it.
As an ECA student, workshops spaces are sometimes hard to book, especially towards the end of each semester, takes a lot of time for waiting. As a PD student, there seems only two main lecturers teaching over the programme for all years. Probably more teaching staff is needed, to reduce lecturer’s workload and increase student’s experience.
Very good university with a great learning atmosphere and a good library. There are lots of activities to attend.
Have been quite satisfied for the past five years.
The University of Edinburgh is an outstanding institution with a rich history and a diverse range of academic programs. The campus is beautiful, and the faculty and staff are supportive.
Great learning support services and interesting classmates.
Great university with good reputation. Friendly staff and learning opportunities.
Almost everything with the University of Edinburgh is good. The only bad things is accommodations. Finding accommodation in Edinburgh is very difficult if the international student comes to Edinburgh without booking accommodation. Indeed, it is NIGHTMARE. Other perspectives are excellent except accommodation
Fine, it’s ok but I hope you can do something better. For example, the striking
The school life is really happy but it is also stressful sometimes.
