Excellent campus life and academics.
Tips: The biggest transition was academic style, which is heavily focused on self-study and critical thinking. Culturally, the shift was smooth, though the weather, ie quite gloomy. I am very satisfied with the quality of education and the exposure I have received. It entirely depends on us and our goals.

Few administrative issues but a lot of opportunities for students.
Tips: Prepare yourself for the weather. It's very windy and chilly in general, but there are multiple good days, which makes you appreciate the sun. There are lots of cultural differences, and many different cultures, so it's nice to keep an open mind and try to meet new people. You will change in many ways unknowingly, but it will teach you to be more resilient. Also, socialising is tough, but it is literally the most important in the first year. It's nice to have friends who will support you. There are very specific scholarships with relatively small amounts of funding. They are course-specific, but each course has awards based on exceptional performance, which can grant you some allowance. I've been able to challenge myself by trying to learn more. Tutorials are very engaging. The university is quite good, too, however, there's a rift between the student council and administration regarding funding and investment. Scotland is very scenic and safe. It's not too tough to make friends.
Likes (Student Life): Extremely diverse range of societies. We can find something for almost any niche, and can make societies too. The students' union council is extremely supportive and also provides a lot of opportunities for students. Societies and people in them are very engaged and positive. For the academic, there are so many peer support groups, including one-on-one writing sessions, reading groups and of course, the professor's office hours. I feel very supported and included.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The UK, in general, has been implementing stricter immigration laws, so I'm not sure, maybe the chance of permanent immigration is 60%. I want to travel more before choosing a place to live, but this is a good place to live. Maybe somewhere warmer might suit me more, but there are a lot of opportunities for artists/creatives.

The university is well recognized; I had a great experience.
Tips: To be honest, back in India, the method of teaching is really different, and it takes some time to adapt. My university provides various scholarships, from a full scholarship to some percentage of the tuition fees.
Likes (Quality of faculty): I feel really fortunate to have had such a supportive and approachable faculty. They were excellent. The best part was to have mentors who have great connections and work experience across the globe.
Dislikes (Internships): No doubt there is a decent amount of guidance provided, in fact, the university organises various networking events and workshops as well. Yes, there are internships available across the UK. Still, a lot depends upon the job market and the field you are in.

A transitional turn-point of my personality.
Tips: You won't find any transition; just come with an open heart and mind to explore and accept everything. You can make the most of it. There are many scholarships available if you apply on time. I received the Dean's Excellence Award from the University. I received every possible support from the university, from academics to mental well-being. The course is culturally diverse, which gives you an edge to think outside your borders. Scotland is very beautiful, especially Edinburgh. It's a very safe and walkable city, with friendly faces and kindness in people's hearts.
Likes (Indian Food): There's no need to pack your bag with Indian food and spices; there are so many Indian and Asian shops in Edinburgh, and you can find everything here, from mustard oil to cereals! Plus, if you don't feel like cooking, there are also economical eating-out options.
Dislikes (Internships): There is no collaboration between the university and the industry for internships. Students have to find internships on their own, and the job market often prefers undergraduates for summer and winter internships over postgraduates, making it difficult for students to secure them.
