The nice places for going out were on campus as well as in the city. It is a must to travel around Scotland as it is a beautiful country! The traditional scottisch dance events are brilliant.

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
Most students live on campus, so this is the place to meet other international students as well as scottisch students. All the other facilities are close as well.
