The best and worst things about Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh:

"The best thing is probably the number of good lecturers, and how willing to help they are. They always seem to have time for you. For example, the Physics students had to take an Electrical Engineering module last year, this year I had to analyse a difficult circuit for my lab module, so I sent an e-mail to the guy who took the Electronics lectures asking for help and within minutes I was in his office talking over it. The worst thing would be the lack of any sort of student vibe... it's not that people don't go out to clubs etc, there's plenty of that, but there's nothing interesting going on, no political feeling, nothing exciting. The feeling you get is one of plain apathy. Can I go to Cav (the main student club) tonight and get wasted? Yes? Then all is right in the world. You go to university to have your views changed or at least challenged, to meet strange people who at first you don't understand, supposedly. There's none of that here. Although maybe that's all a myth and it's the same everywhere - I haven't heard much different from my friends back home."
