University of Edinburgh Reviews

Very friendly uni and City. Mechanical engineer student just finished first year and it was unbelievable fun.

I didn't like Edinburgh at first but i couldn't deny its reputation, that was the grounds on which I chose it. I don't regret anything.

Lively and friendly atmosphere on campus, good teaching

I love this uni: great range of subjects, the lectures are fantastic + the societies are loads of fun: I went to Athens with one society, and I've also been to poetry readings and pub crawls and all sorts of other things. And the city is so beautiful!

Amazing institution to study at, with far better facilities than anywhere else I visited. Amazing gym and student union, as well as a beautiful and historical campus.

Really good uni. Had such a good time there

fantastic support in place for students, lively campus and great buildings

So far my experience at the University of Edinburgh has been incredible, the staff are extremely helpful and the proximity to the city centre is great.

Edinburgh is a very good uni, the societies are good and the atmosphere is friendly, and (most) of the accommodation is great. Key surf can be a pain but the course and city life is fantastic.

Brilliant city, brilliant university!

Brilliant city to live in and a beautiful campus

Great uni and great city. Can't complain of anything. Campus is great, Internet fast and everywhere and the student union is amazing.

Beautiful city - beautiful uni - beautiful people

An amazing university with an amazing reputation. I am currently gonna be 2nd year student and I'm very excited. The only issue I have is they should provide more clubs and societies but otherwise it's perfect !

It's just a great place to learn! Everyone aims to help the best they can. Lectures are always full of the info you need and the reading materials and online work always help summarise. Also lets not forget you get to study in such a great city and experience all it has to offer.

Great university, lovely people and world class facilities. The staff are friendly and are always willing to help anyone who seeks out help. There are a huge number of clubs and societies to choose from. Edinburgh itself is a fantastic city with so much to see and do, including a vibrant nightlife and a great summer festival.

I have enjoyed my time in university and would recommend Edinburgh

A vibrant university. Amazing teaching, wonderful people and brilliant opportunities. I love the city and wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

teaching is insensitive and not particularly in depth and interesting

University is an important part of my future and coming to Edinburgh has made university exciting, educational and fulfilling. Being here makes me want to stay here and continue learning.

Excellent all round experience, love the people and course is great.

Its beautiful, nice people and instacool muah

High quality teaching, amazing lecturers!

Edinburgh university is great, constantly making sure students are supported academically and personally

Don't know what everyone's complaining about. I'm doing psychology BSc (with biology courses) and have found both the George square and kings campuses to be amazing. There's nothing I can criticise about my uni experience so far.

Great uni, EUSA are too controlling, otherwise the support is decent, the clubs and societies are brilliant and the city is the s***

There's nothing wrong with the uni but it's not quite right somehow.

U of E has a huge, colourful student body and just about every society you can think of, many of which could help jumpstart a career. Amazing nightlife, endless vintage shops and independent cafés, and a serious herd mentality within the student population.

It's a great uni in terms of atmosphere and people. But we are really left to fend for ourselves. They don't really help us develop.

I've thoroughly enjoyed my first year at Edi Uni. I recomend that everyone joint a sport, club or society of some sort! It's the perfect thing to balance out your life and your studies.

I absolutely love studying at the University of Edinburgh and am so proud to say I'm a student there! I have had so many amazing opportunities through the university from fully funded travelling trips, leadership roles and positions in societies that will be of great use for my future.

Amazing University, couldn't have made a better choice. Spectacular city with lots of opportunity and has presented me with friends for life!

Psychology department aren't the best but the student life is good and having the uni on my resume is good.

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.

Wonderfully diverse and exciting place to study! Supportive staff and world class lecturers

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.

Best university I've ever been to

Satisfaction Is bad as shown by recent stats Over expensive union Teaching expected better of a highly ranked uni

Teaching is s***, but I guess that makes our degree all the more impressive

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.
