Whats Edinburgh uni like for quiet people who don't like drinking or clubbing?

gg

When I came to Edinburgh last year I was worried about the same thing - being a little quiet and anti-social myself. I find myself being a bit lonely at times, but there are a lot of other quiet people and a lot of people that aren't interested in clubbing either. I've found the Doctor Who society in particular a great place to meet other like minded people, who are also lovely and won't judge you for not wanting to go to hive, if that's your kind of thing

Thank you for your message Danielle. It made me feel much less worried
Do you know any interesting society apart from the one you mentioned?

As an English lit and history student, both of those societies can be great in terms of extra-academic activities - they've organised some really interesting lectures! I would definitely recommend joining the society specific to whatever your subject area is. The Sciffy society put on a little 'freshercon' last year, which was good fun and I met some other nerdy people (and given my society choices you can probably tell I'm a bit geeky). The film society events were also pretty good during fresher's week, so I'd recommend shopping around societies during fresher's week and having a look at what you think you might like - there is a societies fair during fresher's also, where you can join societies, or get some more information from members.
