Charlie: As an international student,
I choose to study at Edinburgh because of the city it's located in.
Edinburgh is such a nice city
It has wonderful people and the streets are just saturated with historical buildings
and I love that, it's great for a history student.
Anna: Being a Robertson International Scholar means to me that
I sort of came to University having a bit of feeling achievement
'cause i realised at one point that it is a great achievement having been accepted to Edinburgh
but everyone who's at Edinburgh University has that same achievement
and coming here and feeling that you've achieved at bit
before you start university was a great feeling for me.
Matteo: I choose to study at Edinburgh
not only because it's a beautiful European capital,
a beautiful campus,
but because it offered me the possibility to study exactly what I wanted
and have a sense of freedom that I couldn't get back home
Anna: My top tip for international students considering Edinburgh would be
apply, do it, just do it.
It's a great University, eh,
but also when you first arrive you will meet a lot of people
you'll get new Facebook friends and a lot of phone numbers
have the guts to call them up and say 'hey do you wanna hang out?'
Charlie: Something I would have done differently when I arrived was to
use the library more
at first I didn't really realise the amount of books there
but once I realised I was stuck reading
Matteo: I absolutely feel part of a greater international community
here at Edinburgh
I can meet people from all over the world
not just from where I'm from
but I can broaden my horizons in that way.
Anna: As an international student I certainly feel part of the community
here at Edinburgh
with University wide society and community
but also the international community
It is a unique community that you certainly will feel that you belong to.
