There could be a better sense of community facilitated by the staff, but I think things are generally pretty good and improving compared to the last reviewer's remarks.

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.

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.

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 could either be really harsh, or really nice about QMU depending on what kind of day I am having…read morewith the university. As a student at this university for the last three years I have developed my fair share of opinions. I am fully aware most people like to turn their nose up at QMU and don't class it as a "real" university. Heck half the students still mock it. I am under no illusions about QMU and am well aware that it doesn't take a genius to get into this university. That being said, it is actually a decent university. In some ways. The Halls are great. Flats of up to six bedrooms which are all en suite and have huge kitchens. All you need for causing all sort of trouble. As the uni is located on the edge of Musselburgh, this means there is very little to do so while living in halls you have to find your own entertainment. For me that included the purchase of mini scooters, a sledge and space hopper. The union is a tiny little building with one bar. Sells decent enough food, but is nowhere near the same level as other University unions (Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee). I am an events management student so I can't comment on the social sciences or nursing courses. I spend hardly any time in class, and when I do it is usually business modules. Great for people who are lazy and like to spend most of their time in bed. The events part of the course is the better part. The events lecturers are some of the better in the university and as the university is so small it allows you to develop a relationship with your lecturer (not that kind). It also means emails are replied to quickly and arranging meetings is a painless experience. The events classes are probably the hardest, and no before you ask event management is not planning T in the Park. Well planning T in the Park does involve event management, but this course is so much more than that. The business modules are usually pretty bad. Generally thrown together at the last minute and with no clear direction, it gets to assessment time and my classmates Facebook status's are filled with panic. The lecturers can be okay, but there are some who make no secret of their dislike for the university. If you are thinking of becoming a student at QMU do your research. Figure out how good it is for your course and phone up the uni and talk to the lecturers. In some ways QMU is good, in some ways it is not. It has a new principle so I am hopeful that the university will improve and deal with the issues it has. The fact that it is such a small uni is a good thing, as is the modern campus.

The staff are friendly and approachable and there's an option for everyone no matter what your circumstances. There's also campuses at Cowdenbeath (construction courses) and at Rosyth (engineering courses). Carnegie College was formerly known as Lauder College.

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.
