Settling into student life

Settling in is easy, thanks to Freshers weeks and numerous sports and various interest groups run by universities and most colleges. They’re a great way to meet new people and start to feel at home. The National Union of Students also provides information to help your general welfare.

Arts and culture in the community

You’ll never run out of ways to enjoy yourself and get to know people. For a comprehensive list of visitor attractions and cultural opportunities visit the VisitScotland National Tourist Board website. And don’t forget to explore what’s on and when in Edinburgh Festivals.

Explore outdoors

The capital is full of green spaces and public parks. And it’s surrounded by beautiful countryside and coastline – ideal for walkers of all levels. There are endless places to climb, mountain bike, surf, canoe and ski.
