The University of Edinburgh (reviews)

The university of Edinburgh is a lovely university but it does has its shortcomings. There is a tight-knit student program, and everyone is kind and helpful. The campus (GS) is quite small and can get quite busy sometimes. The accomodations are alright – you definitely get less than what you pay for. First year classes are very broad, and thus, tend to be extremely boring, but it becomes better when you go into your 2nd/3rd years as you can then limit down what you want to focus on as well.

As one of the oldest universities in the world, the University of Edinburgh has a lot of old buildings, so everyday it seems that I study in old castles with beautiful sceneries. Our school has a lot of resources, for example, library resources. In case we don’t make good use of it, our school set a course to help us with that, which is really nice. For my major, we have practical homework and readings. Tutors would explain some theories in seminars and we do our practice and have further discussions in out tutorials. I think it is a good place to study.

I started my degree in 2021, when covid restrictions were still in action. I loved the place as soon as I went, the professors in economics are helpful, however some are not the best lecturers. I would still recommend anyone who wants to study Economics to come to this university.

The University provides a safe environment for students to present their needs. As an international student, I have been provided with various resources to cope with the challenges I have incurred. Recently, however with the strikes there have been some negative feelings regarding the staff.
