Hi Chinmay, yes. Edinburgh is quite an expensive city when you compare it with other cities in the UK. But compared to London it is still low priced.
As per reports, looking at the average monthly salary in each area, the average cost to rent a one-bedroom flat and any additional expenses including food and bills. it showed that Edinburgh may be one of the most expensive location in the UK for solo renters.

From an article in BBC: Edinburgh is the most expensive city in the UK for students to live and work in, according to a Royal Bank of Scotland survey. Above average rent costs plus lower than average term-time income made it the least affordable.

The best way to live there would be to share a room with another student, this would significantly cut down your living expenses at least, and as for food, opt for low cost ones which are healthy and avoid too much of snacks to reduce extra costs!
