The cost of student accommodation in Edinburgh varies significantly based on factors such as location, type of accommodation, and included amenities. On average, here's what students can expect to pay:

University Halls: £120 - £200 per week, often including utilities. Some premium halls may charge more, especially those with catered services.
Private Student Accommodation (PBSA): £150 - £250 per week, depending on location and facilities. Accommodations with ensuite rooms, gym access, and social spaces tend to be more expensive.
Shared Flats or Houses: £400 - £700 per month per person (excluding bills). Utilities like electricity, water, internet, and gas usually add around £50 - £100 extra per month.
Generally, student housing closer to the city centre (Old Town, New Town) is more expensive, whereas areas like Gorgie, Leith, and Dalry offer more budget-friendly options while still providing good transport links
