- "One thing that I like about my university is the fact that there is a support system for anything and everything that I could possibly need and everyone has been pretty good in the way they have guided me throughout the session. Even the professors were pretty helpful and understanding. "
- Dislikes:
- "However, one main flaw that I have noticed was the fact that in the UK MSc courses are only for a year. I felt that I have had a very compact schedule, which in its way has its pros and cons. "

Hostel:
I was unable to procure university accommodation, but there are many provisions for that. It is typically recommended to book university accommodations beforehand, as soon as you get your unconditional offer letter. I was unable to procure university accommodation, but there are many provisions for that. My accommodation is a private one. I have shared a kitchen and a shared common area as provided. I have a shared bathroom as well. If accommodations are booked beforehand, they should be relatively cheaper. Typically, the price per week for a flat in shared accommodation is between 100 and 210 pounds. Studio flats are more expensive, with around £300–£400 per week.

- I chose because the program here is excellent and the faculty. Everybody is associated with CERN in the experimental physics department and the program here allows one to choose from a wide range of subjects.,
- The exposure, the living abroad experience. The faculty that we get to meet. The course options. I love the city. The fact that so many famous physicists and mathematicians have been to this university and are still here. Dr. Peter Higgs is from this University. The faculty is fabulous.
- Dislikes:
- The curriculum pressure. It's too much to take this course should be a 2 year course. The support in terms of research opportunities and finding jobs. The availability of faculty, which is not much.
Campus Life:
There are a ton of options to do extracurriculars, though I think there is not much time as in my course, I had classes daily from 9-6 or 9-5 mostly. It was a delight for us if some days classes were over by 2 3 PM. The infrastructure, in general, is extraordinary; it's so beautiful. The libraries, since there are so many, are stacked with books. Infinite learning resources.
Hostel:
I live in the University's student accommodation, and it is relatively good. Not the best but it's good and in the city center but the accommodations, in general, are throughout the city.
- Likes:
- University of Edinburgh is known for its strong research centric culture. Looking at the structure of my course, it seemed like a good fit for me and how I wanted to use those skills in the future.,
- Research exposure that I'll be gaining during my dissertation project where I get to do hands-on work with experimental equipments and live participants.
- Dislikes:
- Sometimes, due to the limited time on a module, the amount of learning scope can be limiting and it would be nicer to get more out of those modules, for example, more intense work in labs during coursework instead of it just happening during the dissertation period.
Campus Life:
Events, activities and campus life is vibrant with something or the other going on at any given point. There are also various student-led societies if one wants to join.
Hostel:
I have an en-suite flat with a shared kitchen in a university accommodation building. It's a decent option costing around 8500 GBP for a year.
- Likes:

- Dislikes:
- The university can improve the number of student accommodation in the city as every year there is a housing crisis. The university can try to invite more companies for job fair as it provides networking opportunities. The university can try to reduce the workload for Masters student as it becomes quite challenging to manage so many things in such short period of time
Campus Life:
The university provides free wifi, the business school has its own cafeteria, small library and private study rooms which means you don't have to go to the central library or the university cafeteria. In terms of extra curricular activities there are lots of different student clubs and if you want to open a student club the university would support you. The university also operates a student bar where you can study on your laptop, watch sports game or play pool.
Hostel:
I was living in private accommodation but you can also go for university accommodation which comes in ensuite and room sharing option. Usually for washing machine and dryer you have to go in the communal laundry room, the wifi will be free in the building, near the accommodation there will be supermarkets. You have the option to pay for accommodation rent in a single payment or in instalments. For the laundry expect to pay about 5-7 pound for every wash

- Likes:
- Because for my course, it is one of the top ranked universities.,
- I like how I have become more independent after my college. The challenges have made me more strong and stable. The uncertainty and the confidence to handle it has shaped my personality
- Dislikes:
- I think the campus life could be better in terms of inter school and course events so that we can make more connections and friends. The student accommodations can be closer to campus as well
Campus Life:
Infrastructure and extracurricular is great. There is less of campus life as it is an university and everyone has different classes in different campuses, so overall interaction is less
Hostel:
It is a student accommodation. It ranges from 5,000-10,000 GBP
- Likes:
- This university was the best for my course after Oxford and Cambridge.,
- The abundance of resources that they provided us during our course of time in the university. Also, with those resources we were provided instructions on how to use them. With that, we were given enough time to prepare for our assignments.
- Dislikes:
- The time duration given for each text is a little less. I do not think that a two-hour discussion can justify or satisfy the questions of the students even when we are provided extra material to read with it. Also sometime, they would ask us to read two texts for one session which we weren't able to cover at all.
Campus Life:
I absolutely fell in love with the campus the moment I saw it for the first time.
Hostel:
The accommodations were clean and newly built. Although, they were a bit on the pricier side but I will still prefer those rather than living alone in a new country.
- Likes:
- University of Edinburgh is set in an extremely scenic city. the accommodations provided by the university are exceptional and have great facilities makes makes student life much easier. The infrastructure is grand. The curation of courses within each field allow for a lot of deep and specific knowledge to be imparted. There are many student forums that motivate students to participate.,
- Rank of University Had the specific course I wanted Within my budget Good alumni list
- Dislikes:
- The initial instructions regarding fee payment, course query and placements were extremely unreliable. There was no specific office where these questions could be asked. The teachers practice a very 'to each your own' approach to studies and there is a lot of self accountability that comes in on a new student.
Campus Life:
Campus life is exciting as there are many clubs for different events and cultures. the college tries tube as inclusive as possible and has a space for every student. Infrastructure is quite magical and gives a very olden vibe. Accommodations are fantastic, Library is well equipped and available to student 24x7. a lot of open spaced for students to sit study relax.

- University of Edinburgh is famous for its diverse range of research and modules. They look at things from their student’s perspective and help them build their own sense of understanding. I remember during the initial days, they would question us and then very calmly would say that there is no right or wrong answers or that even they aren’t sure what side to choose. Just given the spot to make mistakes helped us to understand better, it gave us the opportunity to look at things from a very wide and different perspective. Apart from that the melding of different cultures in one room is also something that I am absolutely grateful for, the different approaches, thoughts, perspectives helps you think differently. The resources provided by the university is very handy, there’s so much of content that if interested can be really delved into.,
- "It comes under top 10 university for psychology and research in the world. The psychology graduates from this university showed a lot of enthusiasm and work in our field. The university has its own approach unique from the world, which is something that drawn me the most. This new approach was built and researched by the students of Edinburgh. Which showed how much importance the university gives to their students and their perspectives. They allow students to follow what they aim for, no matter how surreal or unrealistic it sounds, the university always provides with the necessary resources and help students find their own path. "
- Dislikes:
- The one thing that I found was a little different from Indian education was that no one really cared, the professors have a really set timings that they can provide for the students, all of them are extremely busy as they work only twice a week for the university and the rest of the time they are in their personal practice. So to actually get on with them is difficult and more so than anything even the professors expect us to solve our issues by ourselves and come to them only if it was the last resort. I personally don’t mind the idea of self study, but the lack of clear instructions and communication sometimes creates a barrier. Because there’s only so much we can understand from a presentation or certain research papers. So for the amount of money that we are paying for the university, I would at least expect to have professors who were there to communicate and help us whenever required.
Campus Life:
The University of Edinburgh has a wide campus, with their multiple library access. They have their own pubs, reading areas, rooms that can be booked for events, presentations and a lot more. Every campus provides with a study room, computer systems, individual cafeterias and a lot more. The wifi system is universal, so one system connects you with every campus, as long as it’s university of Edinburgh’s campus. They also have their own gym, which is Edinburgh’s biggest gym, at a very reasonable student price.
Hostel:
There are multiple university accommodations throughout the town. They provide students with maximum safety and comfort. Every accommodation has its own perks and cons. Students need to decide what they are comfortable with before choosing the accommodation. The rent is comparatively higher, but it includes all the bills and cleaning once in a while.
