Pentland Hills UCR Reviews

Everyone here keeps to themselves. Halls are separated by gender and there’s only 4 or 5 rooms per hall. Hallway doors need to be closed so there is not much intermingling. Also does not have its own dining hall but it takes the same amount of time to walk to AI, Lothian, and Glen Mor. Probably my f... See more

Honestly it was a nice place to live as a first year. The location could have been worse trying to walk to some classes on campus based on distance.
