The University is on the South Side beside the Old Town. The New Town is
walkable (up hill) or a short busride away. Both Stockbridge and Leith
are a short bus ride or a longer walk away (I've commuted to the
University from both) East/West/Mid Lothian are all out of town, so
probably best to avoid for visitors. Edinburgh airport is also just out of town and
on the worst commuting route into central Edinburgh.

Edinburgh is fairly well served with buses and taxis but the central
area (Old & New towns) is compact and you can walk to most places
you may want to visit without difficulty.

Cheers
Colin
