Hello, friends! If you had any questions about the University of Edinburgh experience, I'll try my best to answer! :)

[fredruthven]

Thanks Shawna - lots of memories in this video. I remember as a kid being in The Meadows when the university's main library was being built in the mid-60s and they had a dump truck on the roof for a while. It was an unusual sight for sure. You walked past what was the "Simpson Memorial Maternity Pavilion" which is where I was born. You also passed through Gifford Park where my father grew up in the 1920s. Even though I emigrated to Canada in the early 70s, I know that part of the city like the back of my hand!

Always thoroughly enjoy your lovely videos Shawna. I know they’re a lot of work - 👍 I studied law at Old College and, although I still live here, there were quite a few places I’d forgotten about which were nice to be reminded of. I really hope you’ll keep going with your videos. They’re really charming & authentic, which is getting harder & harder to find on youtube - you’re a diamond. Best wishes, David 🙏😀

Thank you for this vlog. I was smiling throughout. I have so many beautiful memories in this city and the university. It was so good to see everything still feels the same 🥺

Nice trip down memory lane for you there. Weirdly I think the first of your YouTube videos I ever watched was your university room tour!

[jeph-rey]

Some lovely old buildings and then there is the library which looks like an Eastern European prison. Nice wee trip down memory lane for you and Ashley, thanks for sharing.

University of Edinburgh is gorgeous and I'm glad you guys were able to visit and remember your uni days.

oh! finally got a chance to binge watch your past few videos, been so busy, I have got a new job and I'm in the middle of the training and moving cities. I loved this vlog, the architecture is so beautiful. needed this pause.

That was such a lovely video Shawna! I knew it would be when I saw you were taking a trip down memory lane. Everything looked so nice and so pretty. You should totally do an encore video when Teviot Row House is done with its construction. Take care!

Those beautiful old buildings (the old hospital) is where I was born. Also, I’m old enough to remember the university getting built. Im an old ‘southsider’ 😁

[jonathanbradshaw]

Seeing the Old College at the end instantly reminded me of One Day haha. A very nice video :)

This is really awesome, and educational for me, since this is my future university. ^.^ I likely won’t be starting any classes any sooner than late next year, but this made me even more excited for it! Thank you so much for this!

[greeneyedcat]

Loved this video, Shawna. I was definitely getting Hogwarts vibes from the beautiful stone buildings. I am fairly new to your channel but I love your content, it's really refreshing and charming. My one question would be, were your uni rooms well heated? Living in Australia I think I would find the weather in Scotland rather challenging.

I’ve just started as a 1st year at Uni of Edinburgh so I’d love to hear some tips on good coffee/ study spots etc :)

[Kakibot]

Too intrigued by that 1 second of Soderberg treat footage! What did you end up getting? .)

[DLNOT]

Wow the architecture of Gordon Aikman Lecture Theatre (George Square Theatre) looks something straight out of a Frank Lloyd Wright building

[deefitness.]

if i want to find accommodation, which place is closest to the moray school of education? did the uni reserve a place for postgraduate student or do i have to find accommodation on my own?

[truejoud]
