Aberdeen is an ancient university with a strong academic reputation. Its picturesque 15th-century King's College campus lies just 20 minutes' walk out of the city centre. The university is investing £230m in new facilities – a library, student centre and sports village, for starters. Aberdeen (or the Granite city, after the rock it is built of) is a charming, student-friendly city with plenty of good pubs.
