I studied in Aberdeen for a year and loved living there. The city has charm and is very walkable. It was easy to meet people from the university and through my student accommodation but could see it being difficult if you aren't attending university. It wasn't too expensive coming from the US and was manageable on a student budget. It is easy to catch a train to explore nearby cities. The train ride from Edinburgh to Aberdeen is very scenic and shows a cliffside view for the majority of the ride!

Nice for a short stay -- the old city and university campus are charming, and cafes and even pubs are pretty laptop friendly. Does not seem to have a nomad scene though and you can see the key sights in a few days. Decent bus system. I wouldn't spend more than a week here unless you have a specific reason to be there.
