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.

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.

Working part-time might be challenging alongside academics, research, and job applications.

Tips: The University of Edinburgh is the best choice if you prioritise strong academics and personal growth. Though Edinburgh is a smaller city, it offers everything you need: great cafes, restaurants, events, and festivals. There are also numerous healthy options, gyms, and MMA clubs. The city boasts many scenic spots, but be prepared for unpredictable weather – the sun can come and go in the same hour. There are also many forest reserves in the city where you can run, hike, or film. If you're seeking a tranquil environment to focus on your studies and stay active, Edinburgh is ideal. However, if you prefer a fast-paced, "hustle culture" city, consider Glasgow, Manchester, or London instead.

Likes (Public transportation): Most of Scotland is well-connected by public transport. Coming from someone who used to have their own vehicle, I find it quite good. You can purchase monthly or yearly passes for unlimited travel. Buses and trains are consistently on time and run frequently, even in areas like the Highlands, and offer student discounts for out-of-town travel. Scotrail and Citylink are excellent options for travelling within Scotland. If you're under 21, apply for a ScotRail travel card for free public transport until your 22nd birthday. For solo travellers, check out hostellingscotland.com for affordable and well-equipped hostels.

Dislikes (Part time work): If you're pursuing a demanding master's degree like mine in Fintech, working part-time might be challenging alongside academics, research, and job applications. However, undergraduates should definitely consider it. It's best to apply before arriving in August, as Edinburgh is a smaller city, and jobs fill up quickly. Candidates with prior experience will likely be prioritised, unless you have a referral from a friend or someone local. Before you arrive, apply to major stores like Sainsbury's, Aldi, Tesco, Asda, Lidl, and JD Sports, as most applications are done online. For more local positions, create a profile on Indeed.

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.
