Location
Edinburgh is a beautiful and historic city, regularly voted one of the most desirable places to live in the world.
Large enough to offer something for everyone but small enough to feel like home, this modern and sophisticated European city has a diverse, multicultural community. Parks and green spaces are abundant, and the lush Scottish countryside and coastline are just a few miles away.
The Students’ Association offers an array of bars, shops, cafés and entertainment venues.
