Hi! I am an international student who has received an unconditional offer from the University of Edinburgh for Philosophy & Politics and I am really considering the University. (At this moment, it is between the University of Edinburgh and Columbia University in the United States.) I don't have the chance to visit Edinburgh post-offer, so I want to know a few things which will factor in for my decision. (Preferably from current students.)
=> How easy is it to get internships for internationals? Is Edinburgh too far behind New York City in terms of internships?
=> What's the workload like? What about social life and the general atmosphere?
=> Around what percent of undergraduates are involved in extracurricular activities?
Also, I am thinking about progressing to law after my undergraduate. (Taking a conversion course, a master's in England, the training etc. etc. ) Would you recommend me doing this in the States or in the UK? Also, can you apply for law school in the States if you have an undergraduate degree elsewhere?
I have no idea where I'm going next year and I have only a month to make my decision and it is seriously killing me. Any feedback would be truly appeciated.
Thanks.
