On the 20th of November, Chris Davies and René Mance travelled to Vita Student Edinburgh, Scotland via train from London.
When they arrived, they were welcomed by Grace Thompson the Alumni & Partnerships Manager at Vita Student. They were impressed by the stunning student accommodation and facilities, such as the social spaces and gym equipment.
