I really do not recommend staying in Fraser Court. I stayed in my 1st year there, I'm now in my 2nd year. It is £500 per month (yeah they don't tell you that they compress the rent payments) for mice (plural) in every single block which they did nothing about. My younger sister lives there now and her friend found a dead mouse on the floor. There are some unhelpful residents and it is generally a bit grotty. Also, it is the only accommodation offered by the uni to charge you £50 for losing something so simple as a key. (my friend had this misfortune). Yet, in Pollock it's a tenner at most.
Good luck finding a place, there are some really good places, if you want catered, Pollock is good and is not full of yahs as everyone makes it out to be. In the way of self-catered, I'd recommend any apart from fraser court and south clerk street. They are all generally really good. Or even, better value to get a flat? There are some really good websites that can set you up for a good valued flat in Marchmont/ Bruntsfield areas and meet other 1st years to move in with, i know it's hard for art students? this is a really good idea, something i wish i did.
Best of luck, Edinburgh's a great place to live. :)
