The university-provided accommodation (Pentland House) was too far away, so I had to choose among private options. I saw really good reviews about IQ Grove student accommodation, but I see many people advising against private accommodations in general. Therefore, I wanted to know if anyone stayed there recently and how it was. Overall, are private accommodations worse than university ones in any way, except for socialising? Thanks in advance.

I was assigned to Pentland House. I have read multiple reviews, but most of them are outdated. If there are postgraduates currently staying in this accommodation, how is it? Is the area secure? Is the commute too long?

I am considering private accommodations as well, so your insights will be really helpful. Thank you in advance

Hey I am an incoming postgraduate student, and I have been allotted Oshea North Residence.

Could anyone please give latest reviews of it.

Thank you very much.

I'm enrolled in an online grad program with the U of Edinburgh and just looked at my feedback for a poster presentation. I received a failing grade - first time ever in my life - and saw that I was accused of generating the entire thing with AI.

I'm really shook right now. I researched it, wrote it, and designed it in Canva. I was really happy with it too and I genuinely enjoyed researching it. I just sent a message to the program email with a link to the Canva doc and my research notes (Word doc) attached, hoping to get a response soon.

The feedback otherwise was really scathing, and I want to be fair, but I can't help but disagree to an extent. For example, they said I completely failed to cite a source for my image but I did - fair enough if I did it incorrectly, but it is there. I'm really upset as I'm normally an A/A- student, B+ at the most *on the American scale!!* (I'm from America sorry :(( )

I've never been accused of cheating/plagiarism/etc before, or had to talk to a professor about a grade I've gotten. I guess I'm just really nervous and sad and seeking advice/support :(

I don’t have a strong northern accent but it’s still there. I’d be going as a mature student (22F) to study English Literature

Hello! I’ve been allocated a room at East Newington Place for the 26/27 academic year. I can’t seem to find much information on what the buildings look like apart from the rooms and common area/kitchen. Has anyone stayed there that knows about the stairs situation? I’d have two pretty large suitcases (international student) to haul up these stairs. Appreciate any advice! Thanks in advance

Hi! I'm starting at Edinburgh this September and I was wondering if anyone has any advice for when and how to apply for jobs through the University? Lots of advice forums say a great way of getting a part time job is to try to work in University facilities cleaning or in cafés but I can't seem to find anywhere to apply. Are the jobs just not hiring right now? Do they open closer to term start? Thanks!

hi! i’m studying abroad in edinburgh for the 26/27 academic year. i‘m in student accommodations (warrender park crescent). does anyone have any tips? is anyone else in wpc?

hi!

I need this information to help me make a decision. does anyone know who else i could email?

I'm planning to go on an exchange program at the University of Edinburgh because I absolutely love Edinburgh as a city.

My question is: after my exchange ends, would it be possible to transfer all of the credits I earn there and eventually continue my degree at the University of Edinburgh as a full-time student? Has anyone done something similar?

Also, would you recommend studying there for a Bachelor's in Business? I'd love to hear about your experiences, especially if you're a current student or an exchange student.

Heyo I’m an international student coming to Edinburgh for sem 2 26/27. I’m choosing accom and was wondering if anyone has reccs for social places where I can meet other students.

I’ll be mainly based in kings buildings (I’m studying physics and I’ve heard this is where the science is taught). I was thinking of staying at uni accom so that I can meet other people, but I’ve also heard it’s a waste of money. I’ve also heard some uni accom isn’t even that social.

Any reccs much appreciate!

I'm an incoming student who's just been accepted to Lee House in Pollock. In a lot of the Pollock accoms im seeing this weird headrest/storage low shelf on the wall behind the head of the bed. I've seen people move their desk to face the window, but has anyone moved their bed away from that (it doesnt seem attached to the frame)? Furthermore, are bedrisers allowed to accomidate more storage? Does anyone actually listen to the "no adhesives on the wall rule"? Just trying to get a mental picture before I move.

Hello everyone! I'm a visiting 4th year Informatics student from Ottawa for the Fall semester and was wondering about a few things:

• what's the best way to meet new people
• what are some good spots to eat
• where should I visit around the UK to make the most of my 4 months

Hi, I’m considering Burnet House via unite students for accommodation and was wondering if anyone has any photos of the rooms or has stayed there before. Since it’s a newer accommodation, I haven’t been able to find much online. I’d also appreciate any thoughts on the rooms, facilities, social life, and overall atmosphere. Thanks!

Hii, I'm an incoming first year studying MEng Mechanical Engineering (conditional offer). I'd like to apply for accoms that are close to where my classes would be, but I've been seeing some varied responses saying first year classes are at central campus whereas others say they're at King's Building, so now I'm not so sure...

where would be good places to apply for that are in a good location? self-catered, preferably single room

Hey everyone, im an incoming international student and currently still on a house hunt (uni accom is too expensive). Found a good house at EH16 with rent on the lower end. I'll be having classes at the central campus specifically at PPLS. Would it be too far? Google maps shows 20 minutes by bus. Need some advice

Got a conditional offer letter from UoE for one year MPH. I am a medical student. Graduated last year but don't really have any major work ex to show. The condition is i pay the full fees upfront. Is it worth doing the course with no work ex to back it. UoE is my dream university but I am worried about taking the next step forward

Any updates provided for when results will be released for correction boycotted courses? Just waiting on results from one course in the School of Mathematics and wondering is there a tentative date for when they may be released?

Hi~

I’m a current Year 13 student. I originally applied for Biomedical Science and am on track for roughly A*AA at A‑level (fingers crossed). I’ve since decided I want to study Medicine instead, so I’m planning to take a gap year and reapply via UCAS for Medicine

My top choice is Edinburgh. From what I’ve seen online, it feels like a lot of successful applicants have straight As, which is making me worry about my chances with AAA.

Can anybody share what ve they got for their a levels and ucat ? Plz :)
