Halls Of Residence At The University Of Edinburgh Reviews

My experience of Pollock Halls is that of an exchange student so a bit different to what has already been written, but perhaps useful to someone. I was in my last year of Uni back in the USA when I came to study in Edinburgh. We were given the choice of the halls, or a flat. I'd spent 2 years in the dorms at my own university, and a ...  Read the complete review

I stayed in Pollock Halls during my first year - in Lee House to be exact - and found the whole experience to be positive in the main. The location of the halls was a slight concern to me when I first looked at it on a map - it seemed awfully far to get to the university buildings from the halls. Let me assure you that the maps are ...  Read the complete review

There's a lot about Pollock Halls on here, but not much about the self-catered residences offered by the University of Edinburgh. These include places such as Warrender Park Crescent, Nicolson Street, Kincaids Court, Darroch Court, Hermit's Croft, and so on. As someone who's done the freshers thing twice (I took an interruption of study, didn't ...  Read the complete review

Pollock Halls are outrageously expensive, the food provided is terrible and the whole place is populated by boring, loud, obnoxious yahs. Instead i suggest looking into self catering flats ...  Read the complete review

Here was my dilema: I wanted to meet people, the way I saw it, the more people you meet the more chance you have of meeting people you have stuff in common with, right?? WRONG. Pollok halls is suited to those who: -are very rich and probably never had a job in their lives -are very ...  Read the complete review

Pollock halls is THE place to stay for a 1st year student. You'll meet more people than you would following other options, and isn't that what its all about? I had a great time there (Turner House 513). My single most favouritest thing about it is the location at the foot of Aurthurs seat. Its well beautiful; good for playing footy too. ...  Read the complete review

OK the accommodation in Edinburgh goes like this. If you are a ya or very wealthy person then you head to Pollock Halls. Nice place but, as mentioned full of yas. It is right next to the commonwealth pool which is handy if you want to get away from the bitchy girls discussing whos daddy earns the most money. Then there is kincairds court ...  Read the complete review
