Transportation systems are affordable and dependable.
Tips: The University Accommodation was up to my expectations, and the University had a lot of events in the welcome week to make the transition easy for me. Adjusting to the weather was hard, but you get used to it eventually. Since there are multiple cultures, the cultural shift isn't extremely difficult. I did not receive any scholarship, so I am personally funding my time here. I am fairly satisfied with the university and the course and extremely satisfied by the city.
Likes (Safety): The city is extremely safe and student-friendly. I haven't had a single incident here. Public transport is readily available via buses and trams. The city is extremely walkable, which is especially helpful when the trams aren't running. I find the transportation system to be affordable and dependable. I haven't had any security concerns, either.
Dislikes (Internships): The University of Edinburgh offers a lot of part-time opportunities. However, there aren't many internship opportunities that are brought in by the university. If you are looking for internships, you have to rely on LinkedIn and other job posting sites. However, the University has an eager-to-help student development and career development hub that you can seek guidance from.

The university is culturally diverse and will offer you an array of networks.
Tips: The university is culturally diverse, and it might take some time to get adjusted to this. But everyone like you will be in the same boat. It might take a month or two to figure things out, but it eventually starts getting better. The University also ensures through different workshops to smoothen up the cultural transition for us through various events like potlucks. I am highly satisfied with my course as it is very well-structured and delivered. University of Edinburgh was my dream university and I am happy with my decision of choosing to study here.
Likes (Public transportation): The city has buses, trams, trains, taxis and Uber, like other UK cities. The prices are pretty much similar. I don't find it quite affordable to avail of the bus daily as my accommodation is just 15 minutes walking distance from the business school. Edinburgh is easily walkable. Be prepared for the slopes and the uphill climb around the city.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I don't want to permanently settle here for personal reasons, but it might be a nice place to settle if someone wants to, considering they have a high-paying job. The living costs are expensive. Other than that, Edinburgh is safer than most UK cities, with amazing air quality and literally no pollution. It is culturally diverse and will offer you an array of networks, considering you indulge in the same.

MSc in Data and Decision Analytics - Batch of 2023

A good place to learn and grow significantly.
Tips: I found the city and the campus very student friendly and welcoming, which made my transition here much smoother and simpler than I had anticipated. The weather can be harsh, but the beautiful landscape makes up for it. Even though the academic programs can be intense, I have learned a lot through this experience. Make sure to balance your academics with other ongoing campus activities.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Immigration in general has become an added difficulty especially here as the rules and regulations keep changing every two years on an average and the eligibility requirement seems practical at this point. It is a better idea to gain experience here and settled elsewhere.

It has been a very special experience for me with wonderful and friendly people on campus.
Tips: Studying here has been one of my goals for a very long time and the campus and college have truly lived up to my expectations. I did receive a scholarship of around 7,500 USD which based on merit, that made it possible for me to study here. Students should definitely read up on the course requirements and ensure that their paperwork is completed promptly.

I feel great about everything here.
Tips: There is a lot of variety in the form of courses, clubs and campus events. Because of this, it can sometimes become extremely paced and busy which is why figure out a few of the lesser popular areas and in case you need the library, you can book one of the meeting rooms. Signing up for a meal plan can also make your life easier.

Although I did not apply for any scholarships, my course has been very valuable for me because of the faculty and has also helped me gain the background necessary to transition into journalism which is ultimately my plan. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the country, course and university.
