Specifics for 4G (Score 3, Insightful)

First - Good choice of University destination! The natives are friendly (most places).

Regarding 4G coverage, as others have mentioned, Edinburgh and Glasgow are well served for 4G and will certainly be fine around the campus areas.
Other uni towns:

• St Andrews (my home town) will have mobile delivered by pigeon once a week...more accurately you'll get 3G but no 4G at all.
• Dundee (my current home) has 4G coverage if you are on EE (T-mobile) but no other provider
• Aberdeen seems to be EE only for 4G too.
• Stirling (my alma mater) has patchy 4G if you are EE.

I'd recommend EE for best coverage over here, I'm on Vodaphone and get great 4G in Edinburgh but fuck-all (some local patter for you there) in Dundee, Stirling, and St Andrews.

Hope that's some use, best of luck to your daughter at uni - I'm sure she'll love it.
