Student Neighbourhoods in Edinburgh

Edinburgh is a fantastic place for students to live – voted the most “buzzing” city for a good reason. Even outside the thriving city centre, the neighbourhoods most popular with students are packed with lively café bars, useful shops and are all easily accessible by public transport. They’re also clean, safe and scenic. There’s a vast choice of private flats, but it’s important to get organised as soon as possible to find and secure a room for yourself in the area you want.

There are a number of neighbourhoods and districts of Edinburgh that are popular with students. This part of the website provides an introduction to a few of these areas.

• Southside Edinburgh
• West End Edinburgh
• Edinburgh City Centre
• Students commuting from the wider Edinburgh city region
