The University of Edinburgh is one of the most prestigious universities in the United Kingdom. As a student, there were many aspects dealing with academics and co-curricular that I enjoyed. The enterprising youth is indeed its greatest asset and every student should exploit this to the maximum. EdIntelligence and other start-up acceleration societies help people out in their pursuits. A caveat to watch out for is that demonstrations aren’t uncommon and it can result in class cancellation. The demonstrations are worsened by the fact that students sometimes occupy buildings and access to those buildings are then limited. These groups are fringe, left wing and tend to be very vocal, however violence isn’t known in this part of the world.
Opportunities are available particularly from large commercial banking companies like JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley as well as large tech firms such as Facebook, Google and Amazon(they hold university events as well)
All in all Edinburgh is a fantastic place for young enterprising and intelligent youth ready to set foot on the real world.

UoE is a great place to study. The Uni takes a lot of effort to ensure that students have an easy time navigating academia. Facilities are all quite good and well-managed. There is a lot of flexibility in choosing courses and programs. Loved my time there studying Artificial Intelligence.
