Edinburgh?

TI21

Hi me and three friends all students were thinking about heading to Edinburgh for the summer, has anyone else been there and no the situation regarding jobs accommodation etc? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

On that note, can anyone reccommend a good student friendly hostel in the city?

Was over there a few years back so I'd imagine the city hasn't changed too much. Try get your accomodation sorted before yo get over there, I didn't and it took ages to get sorted cause ended up getting stuck in a dodgy place(long story, basically got ripped off by this cnut). As regards work, get your national insurance number sorted before you go if you can or at least get it sorted as soon as you get there or you won't geta job anywhere.You should set up a bank of scotland account too, as all wages are paid into your account and was fairly hard to set one up when i was there , but think there's one in waterford.If you have all 3 things sorted you'll be alright. Always loads of work for students during the summer, wages are generally crap though.
Excellent city though, the music scene isn't as good as Glasgow but the festival is coming up and plenty of cool gigs on then.If you're into mrtal go to the Blackbull bar or movies go to the Cameo, show plenty of weird movies and you cab drink in at it too.But sure, you'll discover all this ****e for yourself.
Have a good time , it definately one of the nicest cities in Europe, originally went fot a few months ended up staying over a year and would move back in a shot.

....eh, no. Two different banking systems. Not connected at all. A Halifax account here won't provide you with a bank account for the UK. That you have to sort when you get there.
