Edinburgh, Scotland became a new home. Past Review

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

It was so different that I found it a bit scary towards exam time. I definitely prefer the more familiar American methods.

On-site administration of your program

The administration seemed overloaded.

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

The flat was acceptable but lacked comforts. Many things that would have made the place more home-y were not allowed. All of the cookware and flatware were to be purchased by the new occupants and though they were in good condition when I left, I was not allowed to leave them in the flat but required to dispose of them.

could have used a bigger food stipend

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

great field trips with the culture class, amazing friendships formed in the archery club, international student association field trips were great too.

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

encouraged us to stay healthy, eat healthy, to register with a doctor, and to practice safe sexual habits. But they did not address the overall dangers of the city.
