Moving away from home and the security provided by having your parents on hand, can be a daunting thing. At the same time it's often a reason to be excited as you embrace a new-found sense of independence. And this especially applies to students going to university for the first time, when the opportunities appear endless.
Settling into a completely new and unknown location will typically feel like a step into the dark, but with a bit of research and a positive attitude you can soon begin to feel comfortable in your new surroundings. With that in mind, the people over at Vouchercloud have put together their own Edinburgh Student Guide. It's packed full of suggestions on accommodation, transport, things to do and places to socialise. We think it's a decent helping hand as you take your first tentative steps in Scotland's capital city.
It's also a good way to find pointers on how to save money within a city that has been called the most expensive for students to live and work in. There are always savings available, so there's no need to worry, it's just that the difficulty is knowing where to look for them, which is where this guide gives you an advantage.
So have a browse and see what you think, perhaps you'll discover something you love (or hate), and if you do feel free to tell us about it on our Facebook or Twitter. At the very least it should encourage you to explore this wonderful city and to help you feel more settled in your new home. There's lots to see and do in Edinburgh, so get out there and see it for yourself, starting now!
