Overview
Edinburgh is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful cities in the world, with a medieval Old Town, Georgian New Town, and a castle dominating the skyline. The Scottish degree structure (typically 4 years for honours) suits North Americans used to broader undergraduate education. The Festival in August is world-famous. Costs are lower than London and the quality of life is exceptional.
