Ratings and Reviews
The location is convenient and there are many supermarkets nearby. It is also close to Moray House School. The environment is clean and tidy, with wooden floors instead of carpets, which makes it easy to clean. It is also friendly to people with allergies. The heating and hot water are sufficient, so you won't get cold. Highly recommended! If there were more washing machines, it would be even better!

The uni is as welcoming as the city.
Great price, kind and helpful staff. It's great to be able to rent such a great house so close to KB.
Friendly neighbor and lovely environment.
Its a nice place to experience Scottish culture, weather, and learn about the subjects you are interested in
great university. Informed lecturers and good cleanliness
Readings tend to be more helpful than those tutorials.
Great uni, good course options, beautiful city
Great uni with top academic standards, well organised and helpful personal and academic support, great transport provision, great merchandise and top student experience.
Good experiences and good university
This is a great place to stay! The service is humanized and the facilities are complete.
It’s alright nice location and people
The wifi is so fast and the career service is also great which they always have something to offer in every week, whether it is a workshop, a talk show or a career day. For societies and clubs I can’t really tell because I am not participating in any of those yet.
Edinburgh Uni is known for its beautiful campus, being located at the heart of the city. While there definitely are a variety of libraries and other study spaces available for students, it is important to know that the quality of facilities depends on your school, as some have much more space and better study space availability than others. The quality of the faculty is great, and there is a vast variety of course and degree options, which really lets you make the most of your studies. Student accommodation is good, but after your first year you will no longer be guaranteed a place, and finding a private flat in Edinburgh can be quite challenging. There are always many events and society meet ups you can attend, and they are definitely a great way of meeting lovely people!
Overall, I love my study experience at the University of Edinburgh. However, the downsides are that it was super expensive to join sports clubs (especially if I don't plan on participating frequently) and the events organised by the students union do not particularly cater to students who do not attend parties.
Beautiful campus. Lots of greens and affordable bus tickets. Too windy and the weather can get really harsh in winter.
The teachers and staff are amazing. Although I had to take my time to adjust to the new environment and culture the teachers and the staff of my school made sure I feel comfortable and safe. I made great friends.
I just have to say how much I love living at Gateway Apartment. The location is perfect—just a quick walk to campus makes it super easy to get to class or grab a coffee with friends. Plus, there are plenty of grocery stores and parks nearby, which is a big plus for daily life. The apartment itself is really nice. I’ve got a spacious room with lots of natural light and a kitchen that’s great for cooking. The common areas, like the lounge and study rooms, are perfect for hanging out or getting some work done with roommates. What really sets Gateway apart is the community vibe. The management team is friendly and always ready to help out if you need anything. They also organize events that bring everyone together, which has helped me make a lot of great friends. I also feel safe here, thanks to the secure access and good security measures. Overall, living at Gateway has been a fantastic experience, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay while studying.
The staff is so nice, and living here is so convenient and comfortable

The apartment is very nice and quiet. The neighborhood is convenient for transportation and shopping. It's a ten-minute walk to Princes Street. The front desk of the apartment is very friendly and often organizes events and parties with free breakfast, pizza and more. It is also very convenient to sign for express delivery, and the front desk staff will help to put several express deliveries of the same person into categories and put them away, which is very convenient for me to find.
New facilities here is unique compared with other accommodations. Good gym with various facilities.
It’s good! The environment is very beautiful
The campus is beautiful and just a bit out of the heart of the city
maybe better to hold more orientation event in each college
Nice experience, good facilities
Great university, highly recommend.
Nice professors but tooo many readings to be done.
Have not used the careers service but has been a lot of activity recently with events held by them. Campus is incredible and really easy to get to.
Great university!!! I love it!
all in this Prestige Student Living Mayfield Residences is good
I love my experience so far!! My course is everything I asked for, and the professors are really encouraging and supportive. I'm excited for what I can learn in the coming year!
I enjoy the life in Edinburgh~
It's a nice residence. The facilities are new, commuting is convenient, and the sound insulation is excellent.
Love the environment and the little cat. Near the school and mall. So nice
Very nice and friendly for all international students!!
There is no doubt that the University of Edinburgh has a very excellent academic reputation, a good learning environment and a rich and diverse student body and community. Studying here makes me feel very fulfilled every day
Everything is great! I feel lucky to be able to study here.

School is alright didn’t go to campus much once classes ended
The information for our international students is not easy to find
Perfect place to achieve the best education and experience
Great experience here. Nice staff and wonderful room!
Tired but worth it. Teachers are professional and kind.
This is a fantastic explanation!
The teaching quality is okay. However, the university does not look as a community.
Great faculty, tremendous activities
First year studying economics.
The environment is nice, lots of study spaces
Overall, it is a very good study. The school facilities are very good and the learning atmosphere is strong. Except for some courses that are relatively unreasonable.
Good university if you ignore their attitude toward their accommodation and tenants.
There are quite many events going on every month, and you won't get disrupted when studying here. Just that the Wifi is a big problem here. People have been complaining about the Wifi issue for two semesters and it still hasn't been solved.
I hope the uni contiues to help staff from having a nice work environment.
The University of Edinburgh has been very welcoming for an international student in a postgraduate program.
The school campus is large, well-equipped, and the green management is very good. The learning atmosphere is strong. I like my university very much.
Great staff that help out & keep everyone safe. Rhys is particularly nice & friendly. Good place to stay & study.
The campus is very nice. Good stuff, tutor and professors. I am a international students, advisor give me many help.
Very close to university of Edinburgh,good for students.
well-reputed university with supportive staff and teachers
Amazing school, love it so much
Everything is great, though the kings campus could have more soace and better options for food
There are a lot of shared rooms, where you can eat and socialize with other students. The study rooms are perfect if you want to study in silence for a lot of hours in the day .
great university with a good social side
The univeristy is really nice and challenging. The staff is really supportive
This is a really good university with lots of opportunities
Very good university. Great facilities
Edinburgh is an amazing place to be if you are good at taking initiative. It is a huge university with an immense amount of opportunities and has truly fostered my growth over these last four years. Sometimes this can be overwhelming, but again, if you manage to put yourself out there enough, there are so many pluses to the student experience here!
all good aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaqaqaaaaaaa
Pretty good!i love it so much !
Great Enjoy living here and meeting people
A lot of workload, but a beautiful campus

The study spaces provided were particularly beneficial, offering a quiet and conducive environment for academic pursuits. Staff: The staff at Prestige Mayfield Residence are exceptional, always on hand to assist with any queries or concerns. Their professionalism and dedication to ensuring the comfort and well-being of residents truly sets them apart. Overall, my experience at Prestige Mayfield Residence was nothing short of exceptional. From its prime location to its outstanding facilities and welcoming
Student support amazing, and campuses great
very worth of money good place close to university
The WIFI is good everywhere in campus.
The University is ok, but nothing special, and definitely not what it’s advertised to be in terms of its prestige. For what I study (computer science) I personally wouldn’t recommend it, but other degrees might be better.
university is nice, my experiences with the teachers and the teaching system is questionable
Great uni and great friends for life
love my school soooooo much .great school with abundant resources
Good university with great connections to industries and great teaching and range of courses
Love it so much. Staff is nice. Common area is great.
All good. Haven’t used student union or careers services much
Great campus, with everything you need for academic success
good enough with lots of opportunities if youre willing to branch out
Not been much on campus but it all looked good. Information can be a bit better though.
Pretty good place with full equipment and good study environment!
The school is beautiful and the people are friendly. Professors are all willing to answer questions. I love uoe
Absolute class. Couldn’t ask for any better
Fanatic university and teaching faculties
There are always a variety of activities and services to take care students who are living there. And we can feel the warmth given by the team.
The coursework is too heavy. The teacher is nice but the semester schedule is too tight, students don’t have enough time to prepare and absorb.
The course work is quit heavy here. It is difficult to balance the life and work.
