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.

A lot of growth and learning.

Tips: I have learned how to gain more self-reliance and independence as you will be expected to take care of your own well-being while maintaining your academic schedule as well. 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.

The current job market is especially tough to enter as an international student.

Tips: No particular cultural shifts. People are friendly. The India merit scholarship can be availed based on your undergraduate results. The current job market is especially tough to enter as an international student. Depending on your academic and professional interests, it might help to evaluate the amount of support the university provides in terms of securing a job, scholarships, and other networking opportunities during your period of study. It's also a good idea to actively contact alumni of your course to scope out opportunities and difficulties post-study.

Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is good, with the bus system far-reaching. The campus itself is only a walking distance from university accommodation and close to the city centre and the railway networks. Students who are under 22 can avail free bus pass using the Young Scouts card.

Dislikes (Part time work): It might get challenging to find appropriate part-time work. International students face months of searching, sometimes with no avail. The university does post part-time jobs, but it can get challenging to secure one due to high competition. Part-time work once secured is quite manageable, but it can get tiring if the allowed 20-hour work week is opted for.
