Student Halls Edinburgh
This large student population warrants a generous accommodation provision: there are over 60 halls of residence in Edinburgh, many of which are private halls, run by UK’s top providers. They offer a variety of rooms to suit all needs and wants of their residents. Students report that the rooms are typically rather generous in size, as they are mostly situated in new, modern, purpose-built blocks. This means that the private halls are not only functional, but also architecturally distinct and pleasant to the eye, and often have modern features such as games’ and cinema rooms, or even on-site gyms. For student satisfaction, private halls occupy all top 5 spots and 9/10 top 1o spots; residents typically report good value for money, high quality of both rooms and service, and fantastic location within the city.
Dissimilarly to other cities’ private halls, the ones in Edinburgh are neither limited to the historic city centre, nor spread in clusters. Students in Scotland’s capital benefit from great choice location-wise. Some halls are spread throughout a portion of the length and surroundings of the A7/A701 road which runs from Edinburgh train station all the way down to The City of Edinburgh Bypass, though halls are only found between Old Town and Mayfield. Students in this area will appreciate the close proximity of UoE campus, Holyrood Park, perfect for recreation and leisure, as well as safety granted by the local police station. A bit further to the west of the main campus you will find the lovely Lochrin area which sees a moderate concentration of private halls. Students who live there generally say that the area is very pleasant, and that the canal to its south is a fantastic sight on their morning walks to the campus or afternoon pints with friends. Private halls on and around Elm Row, while furthest from UoE campus, offer a bit more quiet and suburban feel, being located further away from the city centre. In general, wherever you settle, you will have good access to Edinburgh’s vibrant pub and restaurant scene, so do not worry about this aspect too much!
Edinburgh has a great amount of green spaces for anyone who is tired of completely urban life and hopes to have some fresh-air recreation or leisure. Whichever hall you will choose you will likely be very close to a park or a square. If you crave some more open space you can always hop on a bus or a train and visit the surrounding countryside. Green belt laid out in the 1950s curbed the city’s outward expansion and ensured the residents always have somewhere natural to spend their weekends at.
