It's so amazing, and pretty, and people are friendly, and they have all these cool events advertised (like a cheese party!!!). Teviot row house is also the oldest student union building in the world (My friend told me) and it looks great! they have a sports bar, library bar, and other various bars for different functions and settings.

Home to some of the ugliest buildings on earth (can I get a round of applause for Appleton Tower's…read moresheer foulness please?) the University of Edinburgh was the place of my 'further education'. Superficially the Uni does well in the league tables (23rd in the world I think) but the real student experience is pretty patchy. The main library is probably the best example of this. Spanning over six floors this building houses millions of books and resources but for some reason there never seemed to be any of the ones I wanted! At the beginning of every year at least one of my courses was complaining that their books hadn't been put on short loan and that keen students had already checked out the course work for the year. There was also a constant issue of people hogging computers, leaving their books and coats on the table and then heading off to Bristo Square for a leisurely lunch. Annoying! Nonetheless I did enjoy my studies at Edinburgh a lot. The uni attracts some brilliant lecturers especially in the History and Politics departments (my degree). Dr Day, Dr Cogliano and Dr Bates were my favourite historians although I would have to say that the international relations and politics of human rights courses were very impressive. In recent years the University has come out quite badly in 'student satisfaction' surveys primarily because of the time it took to get coursework marked and returned. As I left I could see that there were real efforts being made to reverse these patterns but as far as most of us were concerned it was a bit too little too late. Despite this I would still say that Edinburgh is a great University and I miss it a lot!

I didn't go to this school but I'm reviewing it as a tourist attraction. Believed to be what…read moreHogwarts was based on and it's where everyone's pal and favourite person Tony Blair attended (before he was milling around being places he shouldn't). It's such an outstanding building, you can stand on Queensferry road and look down for about half a mile and see it at the end of the longest drive in the world. It's imposing and a real big part of history and the style of architecture would make any art student weep.

I'd heard of Moray House School of Education way before I ever approached it: through people I knew…read morewho studied there or had offices there; and through the Edinburgh University Library's catalogue that kept trying to send me there to pick up books (which is just unnecessarily out of the way, really). So, the Moray House School of Education is, duh, the School of Education. It's located right next to Paterson's Land and the building where the Bongo Club, aka between Holyrood and Canongate.

The entrance to the exhibition is located of Westport Street and the illustrated gallery can be found on the 4th floor in a very modern building just opposite from Edinburgh castle with very amazing views. One of the students is no other than our own Ollie from "Wings", who is a very talented young man bringing his fantasies to life, presented in a combination of colourful fiction and science. You need a certain class of talent to draw various human and other forms with such a detailed eye, otherwise what you paint is missing shape and essence. He uses bright and eccentric colours indicating fun and play, and his arty signature is a little dog called "Wings" (well, we might hope so ;-) ) You can also admire his art work in the Princess Mall shopping centre at Waverly Station. There his talent and illustrative work is displayed on a massive wall for everybody to see when passing by. It's literally a very large print with many little characters in it, all waiting in a queue to get into the Mall for a bit of shopping. Remember to look out for it next time you are there. Tomorrow is the last day of the Art Degree Exhibition, so you better hurry. There is a lot to see!

The Edinburgh College of Art, surprise surprise, offers art courses. I've met a few photography students from there (all amazing photographers), and their fashion students are, I think, in some way, affiliated with Godiva in the Grassmarket. Every year, the students will take over the many many buildings with a week (or so) long degree exhibition. This exhibition is massive. All the different students have their own sections, so there's the photography part, the fashion part, textiles, animation, etc. It borders on impossible to do it in a day. During the festival, I saw a great show where people in amazing make-up danced and did acro on stilts. It was jaw-dropping. Also, the building itself is pretty amazing. I mean, I'm not a fan of the outside, but then inside is full of columns and huge open spaces. If you haven't made the degree show ever, keep it in mind for next year. And keep your ears open for news on fringe shows going on in the college.

This school deserves full marks 5 not less than 5. At P 3 my son needed learning support, the school informed, at no extra fee. I was most impressed for such a closed attention. My son was at this school from nursery -S 6. He did well. Review is about the total quality of service and standards of education. Nothing to do with the fee. You have the choice free school or pay school. I must say that it's worth of my money and every penny I spent. This is what I want my son to be educated in this type of environment and good academic background. I myself from Thailand, everyone have uniform no matter which school. All fee paying schools are good academic and good environment, great teachers, good standard facilities. I have been to a few government schools - all good, but I still happy to pay for education as long as we can afford it. The School offers 5%? discont can't remember a long time ago - if pay in full yearly. Even no discount, we still think it's worth the money. My son has gained PhD, in Machanical Engineering with the job he loves and earn a living. I am now very happy with the study background he's got from this school that led him to go further. Thank you so much once again to all Heriots'teachers, they strive for the maximum results and aim for maximum performance for their pupils. Kids can do well when they are happy at school and happy home, supportive parents no matter which school. I see those who don't achieve, it's not the school's fault. The school gives the best whether kids want to aim high or not.

I don't suggest the average person decide to enroll in this day school, or pay an impromptu visit,…read morebecause as beautiful as it is to look at, it is definitely a monument still in use! I've walked past this ancient building everytime I go down Lauriston Place from the George Square university area, and I'm always amazed that some kids actually get to go to school in Hogwarts. And I'm a little bit jealous as well. The grounds are massive, and I doubt those little children really deserve such a beautiful academic environment. Honestly though, the oldest students there are probably just a year or two younger than I am, but I'll rant on anyway! The school was commissioned by George Heriot, and it's a little sad to think such a place, with it's wonderful renaissance architecture, started off as a charitable institution for children, but is now a fee paying school. Nevertheless, they have open days on in September, should you really want to explore the school.

As well as being a stunning building to admire from the outside, New College is an excellent venue…read morefor hosting events as well. It stands on top of The Mound and so has an imposing look, visible from Princes Street and beyond. Like Edinburgh itself, which has old and new towns, the university has Old College and New College. Also like the city, both old and new are quite old indeed. The building dates from 1846 and houses the School of Divinity at the University. However, there are also rooms that can be rented out for events, and that's what brought me here. Our ball happened in Rainy Hall, a stunning hall, with crests and coats of arms all around. Walking in through the main gate of the college brings one to the very Hogwarts-like quadrangle, which makes for some great photo ops. Once inside the building, all of the interior architecture also captures one's attention. However, I am far from an expert on this, so that's quite enough comments about architecture! Rainy Hall is an intimate venue for events. It comfortably accommodated our ~60 attendees, but much more than this and ceilidh dancing would become somewhat difficult. Catering and bar service are provided by the University's own Edinburgh First, with friendly, efficient staff, and a good selection of drinks at the bar. The food quality is very good, though portion sizes leave a lot to be desired. My recommendation to visit New College is twofold. As a tourist, the astoundingly beautiful building makes for excellent photographs. On top of this, for reasonably small events of up to 70 people, the Rainy Hall is an excellent venue to consider.

OH MY. What the - how long has this been here? Yes, yes, but has it always been here that long, or…read morewas it maybe once not here and then as soon as it was here it had been here that long? Magic, sort of thing? It feels like that kind of place. On an old and busy street, a tiny archway it's easy to miss and go straight past (I did - twice). A tunnel opening out into a beautiful, quiet, sunny courtyard. A magical staircase stuck halfway up a wall. A building full of interconnecting rooms. The idea that this has been here this whole time and I haven't known about it and deliberately sought out opportunities to visit absolutely everything they have going on leaves me, frankly, aghast. That is all.
