Student Living in Edinburgh Experience

Edinburgh is a vibrant and student-friendly city that offers a unique blend of history, culture, and modern living. Unlike the hustle and bustle of London or Manchester, Edinburgh provides a more relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, making it an ideal place for students to live and study. Student accommodation in Edinburgh has excellent amenities and services and is located close to the city centre, nightlife and universities, providing a comfortable living environment for students. Edinburgh is also a huge 'hub of activity' with lots of entertainment. There's no need to worry about having nothing to do when you're not studying, and you'll never run out of places to eat and drink with your friends.

 

If you're looking for street food or a weekend farmer's market to discover what's on offer, choose New Town; if you're looking to meet up with friends for a few drinks, explore Grassmarket, George Street, Cowgate and Leith - there's plenty to choose from.

 

The arts are one of Edinburgh's major drawcards: head to the National Galleries of Scotland, the National Gallery of Modern Art Scotland or the annual Fringe Festival for a great in-depth experience, and the West End is dotted with quirky, locally-owned boutiques, so it's well worth taking the time to wander around and go on a 'treasure hunt'. Ancient history is also an integral part of Edinburgh's culture. Take a break from your studies and visit Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood Palace, the National Museum of Scotland, or the Royal Mile and Old Town, where you can explore this collection of period buildings and immerse yourself in this rich heritage.

 

There are plenty of green spaces dotted throughout Edinburgh's stunning architectural landscape. The Royal Botanic Gardens, Princes Street Gardens or Holyrood Park are all great for a stroll, and an afternoon with a book can be relaxing enough. For hiking, take a trip to the coast - Portobello Beach is a great option - or take the train to picturesque North Berwick and enjoy the views along the way.
