The University of Edinburgh

The University of Edinburgh established in 1582, is the 6th most seasoned college in United Kingdom and one of Scotland's oldest colleges. The university is profoundly implanted in the fabric of the city, with a hefty portion of the structures in the memorable Old Town belonging to the university.
The college played a critical part in driving Edinburgh to its reputation as a chef intelectual centre at the Age of Enlightenment, and helped give the city the name of the Athens of the North.

Edinburgh gets more or less 47k applications consistently, making it the third most well known college in the UK by volume of applicants. However Edinburgh University remains to be one of the hardest universities to get into in the country and as such will always be respected by employers as long as this fact remains true. The university has a wide range of courses from medicine, veterinary science, engineering to all the traditional arts degrees.

A key issue of complaint about the university is that there seems to be a lack of support from university staff. This can be a good thing, as it means you need to get some initiative and work things out for yourself, but it can be detrimental if you feel a bit clueless. What's really important is that the university gives you a well rounded education.
The university has many great facilities, but what makes it such a great university is the city and the many thousands of students.

Pros

High education level and prestige, wide range of courses, alot of students and different people to meet, top university not just in Scotland but in whole UK.

Cons
Lack of support from university staff, very difficult to get your application accepted, it has some very ugly buildings.

Overall rating 7/10
