It has been a very special experience for me with wonderful and friendly people on campus.

Tips: Studying here has been one of my goals for a very long time and the campus and college have truly lived up to my expectations. I did receive a scholarship of around 7,500 USD which based on merit, that made it possible for me to study here. Students should definitely read up on the course requirements and ensure that their paperwork is completed promptly.

I feel great about everything here.

Tips: There is a lot of variety in the form of courses, clubs and campus events. Because of this, it can sometimes become extremely paced and busy which is why figure out a few of the lesser popular areas and in case you need the library, you can book one of the meeting rooms. Signing up for a meal plan can also make your life easier.

The experience has been great with good faculty.

Tips: I have gained a lot of valuable lessons here, especially by studying in this country. It will take you a while to settle in but this place will be worth your while. Before your classes start, explore the nearby locality and go for an accommodation that suits your class proximity. The ideal rent rates tend to vary but if you room with someone you can save up to 500 or more each month. Other than this, the city has a lot of activities for students.

A lot of growth and learning.

Tips: I have learned how to gain more self-reliance and independence as you will be expected to take care of your own well-being while maintaining your academic schedule as well. Although I did not apply for any scholarships, my course has been very valuable for me because of the faculty and has also helped me gain the background necessary to transition into journalism which is ultimately my plan. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the country, course and university.

My experiences is filled with ups and downs.

Tips: The old town area has a lot to explore and the campus is beautiful as well. The lectures are very engaging and the faculty is also very involved hence, communication becomes a lot easier. Finally, I feel that the expenses can add to the cost of living which is generally quite expensive as well. I have enjoyed the convenience and ease of navigation the transport and tube system here has brought. It is easy to travel places and explore the city of Edinburgh in a fairly reasonable amount.

A pretty decent place to study.

Tips: Before coming to this college, it's important to know that it's a competitive environment. You'll need to put in a lot of hours of work and study, which can make it hard to balance your priorities. The weather is harsh, and you won't get a lot of sunlight throughout the year. In my case, my program is for a very niche industry, and the learning and guidance I've received have been invaluable in helping me navigate the job market.

The University of Edinburgh provides good quality of education.

Tips: When I came to study at Edinburgh, I had no idea what to truly expect but once I came here, I found the people to be truly friendly and helpful. The campus is surrounded by very stunning scenery and the research facilities are some of the best I've experienced so far. Because of this, I even got to present a research paper for a European conference which increased my overall exposure and learning.

Everyone's experiences are wildly different, I've had a fantastic year - it's also luck-based.

Tips: Get to know as much as you can about the course, don't get swayed by the ranking system. The staff is lovely and there's a big support team for all kinds of concerns. I have heard about incidents of racism/racial sensitivity but haven't experienced it myself in the university, as I live outside.

Likes (Public transportation): Edinburgh's inter-city and intra-city connectivity is fantastic. I live in the city centre so it's an advantage but otherwise, the big cities are just a train ride away. Apart from buses, there are trams...

Great, amazing place to gain knowledge and build connections.

Tips: It is very different from Indian education system. I didn't experience any cultural shift as I studied during covid time. Also, I didn't avail any internships. However, I did a company-sponsored dissertation which helped me in gaining practical knowledge and thereby helped me in getting a full time job.
