Student life in the city of Edinburgh

Friendly people, stunning architecture and the world's biggest arts festival: just some of the aspects that make Edinburgh one of the world's great cities. This film shows why Scotland's capital is regularly voted the best place in the UK to live.

That came up on my subtitles. I’ve been to Edinburgh 12 times because my folks are from Scotland and my mom’s family is from Edinburgh. They were married there and my dad graduated from Edinburgh University. I have had a long career in mental health, half of it in emergency outreach so I’m fairly good at recognizing psychopaths, and it’s a safe city center compared to major US cities.

[@studmalexy]

[@williamstuartmitchell5480]

This is an excellent overview of a variety of aspects that sell both the university and Edinburgh. My father and my cousin are graduates of this excellent university. Missing from this video is that the Scottish have an excellent sense of humor. On that line, watching the video here in the States, my subtitles were on and when they were talking about the excellent cycle paths, it came up as psychopaths! If that came up for somebody else, dinnae worry, I found exploring around Edinburgh to be very safe. It is also a world renowned university as I am constantly reminded by my father.

+Alex Nevin same here please

[@johnosullivan1183]

+Alex Nevin I know Edinburgh has a great sports centre (one of the best in Europe) and has an Olympic Weightlifting Society but not sure about bodybuilding. I was in a similar situation to you. Be aware it is deceptively difficult to get into this university. I was rejected from Edinburgh BSc Biological Sciences yesterday despite being predicted 625 and having a personal statement rife with relevant achievements and work experience that had got me offers at other more prestigious UK universities. Edinburgh was one I applied to just in case my exams went bad. Don't underestimate it, it's entry requirements are nowhere near what they actually want.

[@willbergie55]

When I was in Edinburgh many years ago it was cold and rainy, which put a damper on the experience. One of the pictures I took in Edinburgh was of a card shop called 'Kick Ass'.

[@inurafacititia7352]

That's the problem with great universities - in that there is Way too much Sports emphasis. Now that Physical Exercise (P.E.) has been mandated - the money from students and outside influencing ruins the Sciences and higher educational studies. Most universities in the U.S. now rely on money from outside corporations to help in their budgets. But those corporations also enfluence more - Much More - than just advertising their products during sporting events - they're also setting up a Billion Dollar Business with collegiate sports that some flow to the university.

Junjie Zhang That would be why it's ranked amongst the top 20 universities in the world then? Clearly lots of other people disagree with you.

[@junjiezhang8274]

ron smith Thanks for feedback.That ranking is the fancy suit they are in. Let alone the integrity of the ranking provider, the current fashion of ranking system is measured with low weight of student satisfaction rate (For QS there has no weight assigned at all) and high weight of reputation and staff/student rate etc, which are easy to get if they focus on the measurement when making decisions. With little effort to research you could find out the UoE student satisfaction rate is incredibly low, and this is true from what I see and feel. Students should care about the learning from the course content and culture within the city and the university, from my experience, they are SHOCKINGLY terrible.
