The University of Edinburgh is a very unreliable university in terms of the quality of their deliverance of education. Some professors appear to have the students as their number one priority and will go out of their way to provide the best support and resources, whereas others are lazy and cannot even post the slides to a lecture to catch up if you cannot attend it. The mental health support is extremely questionable, with limited numbers of staff dealing with a large demand for their services, leading to disregard for potentially serious cases in some students.
However, there are also many positives to life at UoE. The city itself is arguably the highlight, providing so much in terms of beauty, accessibility, nature and nightlife. The university facilities are also fairly modern for the most part, however the library is often packed and it can become an impossible task to find a seat to work at. I would recommend UoE to many people despite the criticism, as in my personal experience I have loved living in the city and have adapted to working at the university.
