Visiting Edinburgh, what must I see and do?

Hi,

So the coming days I'll be in Edinburgh . I received an offer for bio sciences and want to make sure that the city is right for me. I come from Amsterdam and have no idea yet what I'll be doing. I only know that one day will be spent at the open day.

Have you studied or are you studying in Edinburgh? Where would you recommend me to go to? What must I see or do? I mostly just want to get a feeling of what the city is like (so I'll be walking around a lot) and get a rough idea of what night life and student life in Edinburgh is like. My other main option is London, so I'll be looking for pros and cons of Edinburgh so that I can make a good comparison .

Thanks in advance!

Personally, I had an offer from UCL and turned it down for Edinburgh. I feel that Edinburgh is much nicer than London, I feel like London is just too big for me and it is extremely expensive to live there. You will know when you see the city whether Edinburgh is for you - I thought it was like some ancient kingdom, it is just so beautiful.

What a coincidence, my London offer is also from UCL!


Thank you all for the replies, my short stay in Edinburgh was lovely . I've been to a number of the things you guys mentioned. Edinburgh seems like a great place and I'm quite sure now that I'll firm the offer!
