I met some great people here, but I would have liked to have had the opprotunity to be around the Scottish students longer. |

I didn't have any but I'm sure it would've been fine |

Finances

(1 = not very easy/$200+ on food & personal expenses/week, 2.5 = $100/week, 5 = very easily/minimal cost) |
It was kind of expensive, we had to buy our own food quite a bit and transportation and gifts can add up after a month |

The Avid AdventurerThe wardrobe you packed was better suited for a semester of camping than club hopping. Outdoorsy, you might forgo a crazy night out for an early all-day adventure. You'd rather take in the rich culture of an old town than the metropolis of a modern city, but for you getting off the grid is ideal. |
