Edinburgh uni accom

Hello, I'm going to apply for accommodation after my offer holder day in a week or so, at the moment my short list is as follows:
Fraser Court
Warrneder Park Crescent
Nicholson South College Street
Hermit's Croft
Holland Annex

and I'm on the fence about Mylnes Court and Darroch Court.

if anyone has any thoughts about any of these please lmk, I've done quite a lot of research on them all and will probably just pick the first 5 after I've had a nosy in April, but I'm not completely sure. I'm doing biomedical sciences so if anyone else is doing this or a similar course and applying to any of these lmk as well ☺️

I think biomed is mostly in George square at the old medical school, sometimes at KB. I'm not really sure though, I'll definitely update once I've had a look at some of the accoms on my list :smile: I did make a spreadsheet but I'm not sure how to upload it here

Heyyy so I went and had a look and I really like the location of both Fraser Court and Holland Annex in the Pollock Halls complex, and I got to go into Fraser and it looked great with nice bathrooms (although the floor was super creaky). I decided to swap Nicholson south college street with Mylnes court because the location of Mylnes court was so cute and interesting, but the other one was super hard to find and wasn’t in such a nice area, I think I only picked it because it was so cheap. There would just be non stop bagpipes in the summer at Mylnes tho ngl. I didn't get to see warrender but I still applied because the Marchmont area is so nice and I’d love to get to live there. Hope this is helpful in any way :P

My research into this led me to the recommendation to buy mice-proof food storage boxes….

Hi!! I’m doing Medicine and was hoping to apply to these accommodations too. I really like Holland Annex and Fraser Court. My offer holder day is next week! Which was your favourite accommodation? Hopefully I will see you in September :smile:

eee that's so cool! I didn't really have one favourite... all the ones I applied for are in nice locations, hermit's croft, Holland, and Fraser are lovely and peaceful and Mylnes is just super quirky and cool. I hope you enjoy your offer holder day! I enjoyed mine :smile: It would be funny if we were in the same accom :P
