Student review [#2323]
at The University of Edinburgh

An important aspect of my time studying at the University of Edinburgh is that it was very much part of the city itself. Therefore, student life was well-integrated into the culture of a capital with many cultural and social features.

I was drawn to study at the University of Edinburgh as it has an established reputation (having been founded in 1582) and has had a marked contribution to intellectual life since its founding. This translated into departments with a strong research output. My time in the School of History, Classics, and Archaeology benefited from learning under academics who are leading in their research interests. A down side is a common one to all modern state universities, in that contact time was perhaps lacking. Despite this, there was a commitment to learning from fellow students.
