Is it viable to travel from glasgow to edinburgh University?

lots of things to consider and is just my opinion.
Depends where you live in Glasgow..is it handy for a bus or train link to Edinburgh city centre? Do you have a car? the daily commute along the M8 and into Edinburgh can be soul destroying. Parking in Edinburgh is difficult and costly.
Your travel costs may be offset against the price of accommodation if you are living at home.
If you are studying something full on like medicine or dentistry or then the extra time commuting will eat in to your study time.
Your social life may be affected. you may not feel 'part of things' if you are going home every night to Glasgow.
That said it all depends on individual and personal circumstances and commuting may be right for you.

I commuted from Glasgow to Edinburgh for uni and it was undeniably brutal. (It was the best/one of few places that offered my course and moving there just wasn't practical)
As above, using the M8 in the morning or evening rush can ruin your day entirely, when it or the bypass slows down it can easily add 30-60mins to your trip.
I found the train just about doable, but this still meant being up at half 5 most day to leave and get my first train to central at half 6, and then desperately hoping it makes it in in time to run and catch the London train via Edinburgh (missed it a few times), I'd get to Edinburgh about 8ish and then had to hike up the mound to get a final bus to my campus in Blackwood.
Big downsides is the obv 4-6 hours a day and cost for the commute, even for a half day and you'll be raging if they send the class home early or for free study. You'll start to sorely miss this time for both study and yourself, and yeah with that commute ahead of me I generally never had any interest in staying after class to do anything. All the legs of the journey are just long enough to be boring but too short/busy to be of any real work use beyond skim reading.

Thank you for your reply. Is your campus far from Edinburgh weaverly? How much time does it take from Edinburgh weaverly to University of Edinburgh? Not sure what to decide between Edinburgh uni or Glasgow uni? Got medicine offers for both unis? But I like Edinburgh uni the best?

Hi Thankyou for your reply. I do live at southside of Glasgow. How much does it cost via train?

Is it viable option to travel from glasgow to edinburgh univetsity

Hi. We have family in Cathcart and we are in Newington, next to Edinburgh uni so we do this journey often. The trains from Cathcart are a headache because it's a slow connection time into central Glasgow. If you can get into central Glasgow station a different way that would make it easier because it's then only 45-50 mins on the train from Glasgow to Edinburgh Waverley. There are several buses that go from Waverley - roughly every 15 minutes. If you are a Scottish resident, you might qualify for a travel card that gets you free buses / trains. If you are feeling ambitious you could cycle up from the station to campus - after an initial steep uphill section, it's fairly flat (ish). Personally I would not drive it. Train will be quicker, more reliable (no traffic jams), no parking headaches and cheaper if you get a travel card. Also better for the environment.
Our daughter has applied to Edinburgh and included one option at Glasgow but she wouldn't do the journey every day - she would stay with family occasionally in Cathcart.
