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.
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
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 !

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 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.
I love this prestigious uni around the scotland

"The University of Edinburgh is a beacon of academic excellence and innovation, situated in one of the UK's most beautiful and historic cities. As a student here, I've been consistently impressed by the quality of teaching, the diversity of research opportunities, and the wealth of resources available across all disciplines.
I love the learning environment here and enjoy the stunning scenery here.
Perfect student accommodation for international students to choose
It is a good university because the diversity
Honestly the university itself is a bit of a disappointment compared to the student fees especially as a post grad student. We aren’t included in any activities and there are not many services organised for us
Amazing people. Even better management team. Home away from home.
Great university, fantastic teaching and staff
I love my University experience. My teachers are great, I have good social experiences. The curriculum is very professional. I have many club choices.
Very good experience, a masters student so I haven’t the time to participate in clubs or societies but I have heard good things.
Very good experience over all .
Nice experience overall, the specific facilities are very good.
Really good experience at Chalmers Street.
career service is great. clubs are various
It's amazing. The uni has a friendly culture
UoE is a great choice in any aspects and I love it.
Lovely city to study in- the Dome is a particular highlight
It's a good university, but disability service is not the best, unfortunately.
campus are great and study is bad
The most wonderful university in the UK
Pretty good experience! I can make friends here, people are nice too
Friendly staff nice vibe good ambience
Part 2 - During the building works they also blocked off half of the building, which did not allow us access to the washing machines till late at night. This caused a huge disruption to my schedule. We attempted to get these issues solved with the staff, all apart from George weren’t helpful at all. We continued to be woken up from the works at 7-9pm everyday. The staff also treated our home as theirs, welcoming them selves into our flat and knocking on all our doors to have a discussion with us in the kitchen. When the works were to be carried out in our flats, they tried to chuck us out to live in another flat, when viewing this flat it was not cleaned at all and filled with flies and rubbish. Despite how cheap this accommodation is, it is not worth saving your money . The whole experience caused me depression and anxiety constantly throughout the stay, minimising my potential at university - as a law student my degree needs a lot of attention and I could not maintain it in this acom
Very beautiful campus, walking through them and feeling the heritage.
good service and have lots of activity
Everything is good. The location is convenient, and the staff is always happy to help.
Not quite engaged in university activities so no special comments on it.
I'm in my 2nd year and so far the amenities are great, lots of study spaces to self-study or have a group study.
The uni is very diverse but is lacking personalised facilities outside of studies. With a gym that is outside out costly international fees and societies that are very expensive, there is a noticeable disparity between different financial classes.
It has been a good experience & helpful staff
Hope there will be less strikes and more satisfactory wages for stuff
It's been good I've enjoyed it
Good University, feels worth the money
Overall good university, as a postgrad I don’t know much about the other parts of it
Good campus to study on and attend classes
Love Edinburgh university and the course that I am on.
Big campus for the capital city of Scotland. Love the surroundings and the amount of green spaces, as well as fresh air quality and low traffic. Very good living condition. But, some facilities are not really well-equipped or spaced enough. Such as by having a microwave in every cafe in Central could improve traffic and usage of facilities to its potential e.g. 50 GS cafe, 40 GS social study space, Quad cafe. Moreover, some facilities like the Main Library is overcrowded but there are no alternatives given with the same amount of equipments are not in par. Another issue is that Edinburgh has a housing issue, which is very concerning for international students that does not have guarantors. Some study space as well as lecture halls does not have enough chargers or none at all, making it hard to utilise electronic devices for more efficiency.
good uni could use improvement on careers service
The location is insanely good. I can basically walk to anywhere in the city center within 25 mins and only need less than 10 mins to get ready for uni.
The humanities facilities are all ideal. The library is a good study place, though hard to find a seat during exam season. Cheap food and drinks in the uni cafes.
I love Edinburgh University College of Art. It’s like someone decided they were going to make a school where they taught only fun things and what you got out of the experience was actually beneficial to real life after Uni. I used to fear work in the future separate from University but the way that my course is taught and the environment that it is given in has already provided me with enough confidence that my job won’t rule me instead I can make the rules doing what I love.
Honestly, there’s so much to do and I’m never bored.
Never run out of things to do. Societies are all very welcoming.
University is nice. All staff are friendly, lots of activities to do
Really love the nucleus at the kings buildings and eduroam all around the city
