Great city for student life, whilst accommodation can be a bit more on the pricey side, you can find some great bars and restaurants at reasonable prices. Lived there for 4 years and loved every minute of it

Fantastic city, very nice, is like a town because the old town is like that, a los of amazin buildings, and monuments, and now in christmas is prettier!!!! A lotver of options to eatpues food of all the world, a lot of party in the city centre with a lot of pubs and discos, and some discos with rrggaeton. Is notlo a cheap city, but if you go a few meters to the centre you can, save money in your meals and dinners

Edinburgh is a beautiful city. Despite being a small city, it provides everything you would expect from city living. It's small size also means that access around the city is easy and this is supplemented by its great transport links.

Best city I have been to in United Kingdom. So calm and peaceful. A number of things to do there at a tourist point of view. Had my first ever afternoon tea there and still cherish every moment of the city. Best thing was the city is so accessible from one part to the other.

Edinburgh has a very good night life, along with a huge variation of restaurants and food. Shopping options are also massively varied with the high street having every shop imaginable but due to the fact it's the capital, it is a rather expensive place to shop.

Wide range of restaurants The city centre looks amazing Frequent buses to and from city centre There are many tourist attractions such as castles and cathedrals. During Christmas and New year particularly the old town and princes street are beautifully decorated and there is a large Christmas market where you can find all sorts of food from hot dogs to waffles and hot chocolate.

Edinburgh is a thriving student friendly city that is buzzing with fantastic energy all year round! It has excellent transport links, endless shopping opportunities and an amazing range of restaurants and cafes to suit all tastes. The night life is constant and there is always something for everyone! As a capital city, you can expect places to be a little on the pricier side, especially when it comes to eating out and entertainment, but when you look it the right places, you can always find a good bargain, and almost everywhere offers student discount!

Beautiful city with great things to do. The architecture is lovely. Amazing shops, especially in the center of town, and good food. The gallery is gorgeous and the princes street gardens are a great place to relax. Some places are a bit overpriced but you can find cheaper places. The public transport (buses) are well maintained and fairly cheap. Some of my favourite shops - great range of books. For example, my favourite bookshop (The Lighthouse on West Nicolson Street) has so many amazing events with great guests and a huge selection of specialised books. The festival is also a great time of year - so many events of all kinds and a lively atmosphere. Although at this time of year, it gets especially busy and can be difficult. At Christmas, the city is also especially beautiful - the German market is a must and the Christmas lights make the city look wonderful.

Edinburgh is a great city with loads to see and do. There are lots of places to eat, with a wide range of vegetarian and vegan restaurants spread out across the city. There is a good shopping scene. Also, nights out are too expensive and food places are not open once the clubs are closed.

Great city for students as there's lots of pubs, bars and clubs which suit a variety of tastes. Most of them are also reasonably priced for students or have student nights. Some pubs even offer student discount. Many different restaurants throughout the city so can easily find a place to eat to suit everyone, although some places can be slightly more expensive which is to be expected in the city centre. Lots of things to see and do, such as the castle, markets and Harry Potter related shops and tours. If you're quite active then climbing Arthur's Seat is also a rewarding thing to do as it gives lovely views of the city. Prince's Street is great for shopping, but there are also some nice vintage shops scattered about Edinburgh such as in Grassmarket. Transport throughout the city can be busy but overall is fine, with options of the bus or tram, and there are plenty of night buses to all the universities after a night out. Needing the exact change for the bus can be annoying but there is an app you can download instead which makes things easier. Lots of theatres, as well as cinemas and bowling in the city which is good for entertainment. The Fringe Festival is also a must but obviously can get very busy. Overall Edinburgh is a great place to live and I would highly recommend it.

Decent variety of shops, but larger shops such as Primark, can sometimes be extremely busy, with big queues. Nightlife is good at weekends, and not bad during the week. Food wise, the Omni Centre has plenty of options including Nandos, F&B's, Tony Macaroni, Lloyds etc. Grassmarket and other areas - there is all your traditional pub grub available. Not far out of town is Fountain Park with a bowling alley, trampoline park and a Casino. Edinburgh Castle, Edinburgh Dungeons and a Sightseeing bus are some things to do in the Centre. Transport Links pretty good, although I would recommend double checking where your bus stop is, prior to travelling, as can be a bit complicated trying to work out where to board the buses, and expect frequent delays/cancellations with the trains.

So many options for going out for food and drinks. I especially love TGI fridays and five guys because their burgers are amazing quality and such a good price!

Lovely beautiful city with tons of culture, nightlife scene is small but very fun with cool music. Very safe to live in (though expensive) with plenty of nice coffee and restaurant places.

To go shopping in Edinburgh is quite good. You will have every shop you want, and everyerthing is really close to each other. The most popular shops are primark, H&M and Topshop. You will also have a beautiful view of the castle, when you are going shopping.

The city has some amazing attractions for everyone, whether it's a night out in the town or at pubs or a family fun day out from visiting the zoo to trying escape rooms and everything inbetween. What also makes it easier to get around are the fantastic bus and train services with regular services also including sight-seeing buses.

There's such a mixture of stuff to do! Lots of student things too because otherwise it can be quite expensive, especially at a weekend. New town is great for high street shopping whilst overlooking old town and the castle; it's so pretty! The Christmas markets are also fabbbb, with loads to do for all ages! The only thing new town lacks is a range of independent coffee shops, it's only really the normal chains, but they're still really nice. My favourite is the Starbucks on princes street which overlooks the street and the castle.

Edinburgh is a really beautiful city full of history. Whether it's visiting museums or checking out the nightlife, there is something for everyone and it's hard to get bored. Although accommodation costs can be high, there are plenty of free things to enjoy. My personal favourites include climbing Arthur's Seat, walking in the Pentland Hills and going round the second-hand bookshops to hunt down a great deal. The locals are friendly and there are always plenty of tourists which makes the city feel very welcoming and safe. Lothian buses are affordable and can take you pretty much anywhere in Edinburgh and the drivers are the friendliest I've come across. All in all, it's a fantastic city to live, study and work in.
