Yah I saw the second post and the 'main student areas' but it didn't really answer the question about 'good' and 'bad' neighborhoods. Maybe it's not like it over in the UK but here in the states there's DEFINITELY places you don't want to live if you can avoid it at all. And with a city the size of Edinburgh, I kind of expected the same thing.
Oh I should note that I'm 23. I've been through undergraduate and, while not opposed to drinking and general merry making, rabble rousing, stirring **** up, I've been through the binge drinking contests and all that good stuff of undergrad, where as I know that vet school for y'all is straight out of our high school age (college, I think y'all call it) so about 18 or 19 I guess. Also vet school is pretty strenuous so I was thinking some where that might be a bit quieter than the main student hot spots. I don't want to be isolated from the city/other students, but I don't want to be kept up at all hours of the night by blokes screaming outside my window either.
