St. Andrews, Scotland was best school experience ever! Didn't want to leave. Past Review
By Emily L (Biology, General., Middlebury College) for
University of St. Andrews: St. Andrews - Direct Enrollment & Exchange
Loved it. Made wonderful friends from all over Europe, got to travel on weekends, and had so much fun. Oh, and learned some academics on the side...

Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
Minimal work, but great professors. Class size was a lot larger than I was used to. |
|
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
|
|
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
Dorms were great since it was a mix of students from all over Europe. My roommate was French, and my best friends next door were from Scotland and Wales. It was a co-ed dorm with a dining hall, so you really got to know the other students in the dorm very well. |
| * Food: |
Haggis is gross. The dorm food left something to be desired, but Scottish food in general isn't exactly fantastic. |
|
* Social & Cultural Integration:
How integrated did you feel with the local culture? |
Lots of great bars and fun social scene. Lots of balls to attend, sports to play, and activities. Loved it all! |
