- The campus is spread along the beautiful city, especially in the old town, which feels dreamy. The buildings are mostly accesible and the infrastructure is heritage from out but extremely modern from within. Lab facilities are well equipped, with only a few extracurricular activities, such as weekly socials and ceilidhs at the end of the semester.
- The university offers over 100 clubs that one can join. Welcome week is never miss event and is a great way to begin social and university life. The university has its own complex of gym, 24/7 main library, and each school has its own personal libraries, numerous cafes, shops around campuses, and lively bustling university areas.

- I was given University accomodation Called Ascham Court, which was a nice, comfortable accomodation near the main campus along the meadows. It had better privacy that flat like accomodations.
- Total yearly rent was 9350 for a year of stay. I do know there are plenty of private accommodations around the city as well.

- Professors are people who are at the top of their fields. Their knowledge is exceptional and we get to learn a lot.
- The infrastructure is amazing is very motivating for the students.
Dislikes
- Very minimal or non existent extra curricular activities for MSc (not uni's fault technically because the students will be so busy they never get time to focus on stuff other than academics)
Campus Life

- There are numerous clubs and events taking place, but for MSc students, they often lack the time to focus on them due to their busy academic schedules and coursework. No summer vacation either, because we will be working on the dissertation. So it's a jam-packed 1-year course.

- Rent around 800 GBP / month. It was a student-provided accommodation and applied through their own portal. A single room and the usual facilities.

- Easily approachable Professors
- Professors won't judge you based on your knowledge
- Coursework driven learning - making the learning more interactive and hands-on
Dislikes
- A lot of companies do visit the Uni, however, it's more of a pool campus setup. Hence, there is no assurance that you will get placed via campus.
- Extracurricular exposure is only for Undergrads

- No. Of campus: The whole of Scotland has our campus (5 major campuses)
- Used to have a lot of events across the year with so much fun outside academics too

- Uni accommodation is costly. Go for rented apartments with friends slightly far from Uni, and it can go up to £300 - £400 a month. I found the apartments from the Fb groups

- Being one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in the UK and a part of the Russell Group, the University of Edinburgh offers a range of services while withholding its traditions.
- The course is well crafted but very intensive, more than most courses. It helps develop your in-depth knowledge on every paper, thus, in the field of IHRM.
- We are also offered services like career development and personal development which help us in shaping our CV and job applications as well as in our well-being
Dislikes
- At times there can be a feeling of burnout because of the intensive course.
- I do not hate anything specific about the University. I am happy with my decision to pursue my MSc here, but there can be a feeling of loneliness at times.
- Unlike most universities in India, the marking system is very strict. A distinction is considered to be 70% here. So, achieving marks in the 80s and 90s is a distant dream for most.

- The University hosts several festivals throughout the year. It kicks off with Welcome
- Week, during which students can meet different societies and groups. Students are also given several freebies, and the societies mentioned above host numerous welcome parties throughout the week, ideal for socialising with other students.
- Throughout the semesters, one also enjoys a range of socialising events as well- both professional and social. These include networking sessions, seminars, potlucks as well as fun gatherings such as Halloween, Bollywood nights, Football screenings, Ceilidhs, Christmas Dinners and more.
- The University of Edinburgh has several campuses spread across the city. Of them, the recently opened Future’s Institute is acclaimed to be the most beautiful campus in the world by some of the websites. Other notable campuses are the Business School,
- Campus of the School of Religious Studies, Old College, King’s Building, Holyrood Campus and others. Each campus offers its unique environment.
- Every campus has its library, café and one of them has its lounge as well. The
- Pleasance and the Potterow are the two locations of the university equipped with student facilities like the gym, club rooms, café, bar, gaming areas and additional student services.

- I was looking for University accommodations, so I looked up on the university website. My monthly rent is around 745 pounds, and it's an en-suite accommodation.
- The challenge one might face is that it is difficult to find affordable accommodation here. If you are looking for accommodation at a lower rent, then you might have to go for a sharing accommodation. Or you can come here and look for flats to share but that is a risky move if you have no connections here.
- My accommodation is around 15 mins walking distance from the university. The city is pretty much walkable so that is of no issue. There are many Indian students in the University accommodation.

There are 2 campuses: George Square campus and Kings' Building campus. My course was based on the George Square campus.
Since it was a one-year course and it was very intensive, I didn't have too much time to attend tests and attend club events.
There is ample opportunity for sports enthusiasts. - The university has its own gym - Pleasance which was world class facilities, indoor badminton courts, basketball courts, squash courts, etc.

- It was a university accommodation. When you get an offer of acceptance, you get an option to apply for accommodation on the university website.
- The accommodation I got was really nice and very modern. The amenities were great. However, the only catch was that it was a little bit far from the university compared to other accommodations.
- I would recommend students to apply early for accommodation, as the best ones get filled early. Also, I stayed in a twin room to save costs but this is a personal decision.
- My accommodation was 25 minutes by bus from the college. Indian student population was found in every accommodation.

- The University is a city University so it has multiple buildings spread all over the entire city of Edinburgh. It won't be possible to provide a list of locations as it is massive. There is a vast range of facilities including various study hubs, libraries, gym centres, sports centres and so on. Edinburgh Fringe Festival is the biggest festival that happens in Edinburgh and also takes place in the University buildings.

- I found my accommodation using the University website. It was a University accommodation. The monthly rent was around 670 GBP for an en-suite room with a shared kitchen (shared among 11 people). Since I applied timely, I didn't find the process of finding accommodation challenging. However, if applied later, it can get pretty tough as flats in good locations go out pretty fast. So, my recommendation is to apply as timely as one can. Student accommodations also provide University-led teams that manage the property, which might help make the process easier. My accommodation was a 7-minute walk from my school's building. There is no specific region where most Indians stay and they are scattered across the city.

The campus infrastructure is exceptional. There are a lot of societies and sports clubs to choose from and the library is great and open 24/7. I was part of the diagnostic society which is a dialectics or debate society but very unique.

I lived in a private student accommodation. It was a non-en suite flat with individual rooms. The rent I paid was 216 pounds per week. You can apply for uni accommodation, but be quick. Uni accommodation is a lot cheaper than private.
