University of Edinburgh c/o 2024 hopefuls!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I was accepted into the 4 year program but I'm worried because the conditional offer is a B or better in physics. Does anyone know if the B or better mean B- or better or B or better?
So I asked about their grading system and I think their “B” is different from ours. Here is their scale from the website and the link. But I would ask admissions to make sure because it might be different.

So does anyone have any idea what housing is like? I’m definitely not going to live in dorms so I’m just reaching out to see what other students are looking at!
So, we obviously get housing for the first month of being there. It's more like an apartment than a dorm. However, from the research I've done so far, finding affordable but quality housing is actually pretty easy there. It's cheaper than most cities in the US (especially LA and NYC), and it looks like rentals are pretty much always open.

Thank you so much! I ended up emailing admissions and they got back to me--a B- is included in the minimum grade of a B!

Oh nice! What websites do you recommend I look on? In the states I used sites like Trulia, Craigslist etc

These are the two sites we've been looking at.

This is a link to a blog from a woman that moved over there a few years ago. She shares moving tips, places to look for rentals, and overall expereince of the moving process.
