Hi all :)
I'm Cristina, I'm 18 years old, and I'd like to move to Edinburgh, to live and study. I'm looking for a job and an accomodation, for me and my boyfriend. Why in Edinburgh? I was there some years ago, for a holiday, and I fell in love with it and promised I would have lived there. :) I would appreciate very much any useful answer to reach my target :)

I guess it depends what you want to study and your boyfriend does he want to work or study? There are lots of things you want to do but it might be best to do it step by step.  For instance if you decide what it is you want to do first secure a job then the rest should fall into place. I have lived here for 20 years now and will certainly point you in a few directions but if you can be more specific that would certainly help.  :)

I am also interested in living in Edinburgh and I am a childcare worker. What is the main job seeking database in Edinburgh? And what is the cost of living like, or how much does an apartment cost to rent?

Cheers :)
