Would you recommend it?
I liked that I had my own room and bathroom. It was a flat for 8 people with a shared kitchen. I would probably choose an accommodation like this one again or a real apartment if I stayed longer than 4 months.
🍻 Social Life
What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?
Potterrow events are very nice and affordable. Also the ENSA (edinburgh napier student association ) events were top notch and mostly free!
🎓 Uni life at Napier Uni
Which classes do you recommend… or not?
I had 3D modelling very interesting, Games Engineering and Data Management. The lectures were boring but I liked the practicals. In anay case i didn't come to Edinburgh for the classes but for the country.
Do you have some tips?
I was on Merchiston Campus, but all three campuses are very cool. Registration was pretty simple.
✈️ Travel
Best trips to do?
If you ask for the free bus card you can go pretty much everywhere for free ! It is very nice. I recommend visiting the town nearby and also going on day trips towards Ilse of Skye and center Scotland.
🌆 Edinburgh vibe
What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Edinburgh?
Buses go everywhere, one ticket is 2.20£ and a day ticket is 5£ with tap tap cap. I recommend getting the free bus card for people under 22 year old. Pubs have activities every night from pub quiz to live music. Christmas period is wonderful and full of life.
