Student life near Queen Margaret University

Part of QMU’s appeal is that it’s nestled within suburban communities away from the city centre, so if you’re after somewhere quieter and cosier, then consider one of the areas surrounding Queen Margaret University, like Newcraighall or Eastfield.

Both of these neighbourhoods are small, village-like pockets of Edinburgh bordered by nature on all sides; Portobello Beach and Musselburgh Beach are within walking distance of both Newcraighall and Eastfield, and Newhailes Estate (a stately National Trust mansion on vast parkland) is situated halfway between both areas, giving you loads of choice when it comes to choosing where to go for your afternoon walk.

If you’re not about frolicking on the beach every day, then maybe Edinburgh’s city centre is more for you. Trains to Edinburgh Waverley from the nearby Musselburgh Station only take 7 mins, making it easier than ever to immerse yourself in Edinburgh’s past by living in either the Old Town or the New Town.

These parts of Edinburgh are steeped in rich history, as evidenced by the UNESCO World Heritage status that encompasses the Old and New Towns. You’ll never run out of things to do around here, thanks to renowned tourist haunts like the Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle in the Old Town and the many art galleries, theatres and museums hiding round every corner in the New Town. Keep your eyes peeled for the hidden speakeasies and bars like Panda & Sons that are dotted around Edinburgh’s centre, too.
