Personal comments
Don't buy a bedding pack from the University accommodation...they charge about 30 pounds...go to the pound stretcher or pound saver (they are on every corner) and get one for half of that money!!! there are tons of second hand stores around the university area...you can pretty much find anything you want.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
the university flats have perfect locaton. they are all 5 mins away from the campus. however stay away from the flats on Cowgate!!! the clubs are right there and it can be quite noisy at night.
