Third, beware of the rankings, especially QS and FT. My cousin was attracted to Edinburgh because of these two ranked the program so high. It was revealed later that the University pays a lot of money (paid by your ridiculously high tuition fees) to ensure they are on very top of the ranking, despite very low-quality lecturers. I looked at profiles of the teaching staff and wonder how the program full of people from low-grade universities in Europe makes it to the top 10 universities in the subject. In fact, the profiles of my teachers in my country (a 3-world country) look much better than here. And why teaching staff here are so lousy? It was simply that they teaching staff here are considered low-grade job. They value research staff. Especially, Science and Engineering people look down at other subjects, especially Business. Business subjects are considered making-money subject and are the worst.

All the Answers You Need About Student Accommodation
What tenancy length do I need?
Some students choose to stay during the academic year, whilst others – particularly international students – require a tenancy that covers the entire year. You can also find student accommodation that is available for one or two terms, classified as a “short stay” on our search filters.
Should I stay in catered student accommodation?
This is totally up to you! Catered accommodation means you will be served meals at set times in a dining hall, and you’ll likely have access to fewer kitchen facilities than if you were to stay in self-catered accommodation.
What is a guarantor and do I need one?
A guarantor is a person who signs a contract to agree to pay your rent if you are unable to. Most university accommodation requires a guarantor, and this applies to both domestic and international students.
Will I need to pay a deposit on student accommodation?
Most likely, yes, you’ll need to pay a deposit. This will be refunded at the end of your stay as long as there is no damage to the room or property.
What bills will my rent include?
If you are staying in university-run accommodation or private halls, your rent should include any utilities such as electricity, gas, water, and internet. Students are not required to pay council tax, however you may need to fill in an exemption form so make sure you check with your local council.
What is purpose-built student accommodation?
Purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) are residential buildings designed for students. They are often located close to campus, boast modern facilities, include all bills, and often have staff on site to assist residents.
Will my student accommodation be furnished?
Student accommodation is typically fully furnished. Your room should include at least a bed, clothes storage, desk and chair. You’ll likely need to bring things such as bedding and kitchen utensils, but we have a full list here of everything you’ll need.

The location is great but we've had issues with mold in our flat, even in the rooms that have been kept clean. I know that other flats have had similar issues. Otherwise it's good!
Great place, cheap, great location, great views, surprised everyone with how nice it was.
