Logement

Type de logement: Appartement/maison

Organisé par: Université d'origine

Si j'y retournais je choisirais: Appartement/maison

Pourquoi?

I lived in a house with other students. We did not have bills, but it was just like renting in the states. I could come and go as I pleased giving me the freedom to explore. I would choose to do this again because the experience was living like a citizen, not just a student!

Commentaire personnel

The accomodations were set up through my home university. We lived in a large home outside of the city. It was a ten minute bus ride to the University and a 30 minute ride to my internship at the Royal Bank of Scotland. I would choose to live in a house again. There were roommates, but no dorm food! We had to provide for ourselves, but well worth the experience.

Commentaire personnel

Most of my time in the evenings were spent at the grassmarket. We would have a pint (or two~) at Biddy Mulligans and then wait at the "Hanging Point" for a taxi. The night started when we would arrive to Eros for dancing till early morning. I never felt scared of walking in the middle of the night because there were almost as many people out at night as there were during the day.

Études

Recommandations de cours

The only trouble I had was getting used to their curriculum. It is a very different approach to testing taking and papers than in the United States. I would study up on how long the classes are, what the studies will entails, and what is expected, especially for visiting students.

Professors must take into account students have different perceptions of University studies. Make expectations clear and concise in order to get the best out of all students.

Commentaire personnel

Overall, the language was easy, due to it being my native tongue. There were certain times the accent gave me a few problems, but I soon caught on. It is most important not to be rude when you do not understand, ask for repetition, or just smile and nod!

Si j'avais su

I wish I had known it would be so hard to go back to find work. It is hard to apply for a work visa and I can not seem to find any information on how to get back. I had the most wonderful experience of my life and would love to work and live in another country in the future.

Recommandation personnelle

The University is wonderful and full of knowledge. If I had one personal recommendation it would be to upgrade the technology. It was hard to log on and off of the internet and the best PC I could find had Windows 95 on an old operating system. Students need the world at their fingertips.

Derniers commentaires

While living in Edinburgh and attending the University I found an internship. I worked at the Royal Bank of Scotland during my time and received and experience I will never forget. The internship entailed working with their international customers and researching other companies through the Business Balanced Scorecard.

Dépenses habituelles

Food and eating were not important to me. I saved my money for a good night out on Friday and Saturday. I rarely used the phone and called collect to the states. My accomodation was cheap because I had so many roommates and paid for up front. Nightlife and travel was were I spent most of my money. While living on the British Isles I travelled to the continent of Europe quite a bit.
