A wonderful university in a beautiful city of Edinburgh! Past Review
By A student (Wellesley College) - abroad from 09/04/2017 to 12/21/2017 with
University of Edinburgh: Edinburgh - Direct Enrollment & Exchange
I learned a lot about independence and providing for myself. I also learned lots in all three of my classes, and from the friends I made. It was very worthwhile.
