Annie studies Creative Advertising and is always thinking about why things the way they are. Detail is important, and being observant is important, and what's a better way to learn things than traveling?
I chose CISabroad because of the benefits that they offered, such as someone picking me up from the airport, an excursion, and having a site director on base to always help me with whatever I needed.
I also realized I wanted to go to Edinburgh, and CISabroad had a good university offered that gave courses towards my major.
My program provider assisted a lot, as I said above someone picked me up from the airport. Our site director, Jeanna Brady, helped me go to the doctor's when I was sick, and she gave us a grand tour around the city.
They gave us an orientation before we left about what to pack and what to expect in Scotland, so I felt well prepared.
Don't stress on what to bring. Say "yes." Don't be afraid to try new things.
A lot of exploring Edinburgh, and talking with international students, as well as going to pubs and going to campus.
Honestly, I did not really have any fears. The only thing I was worried about was if I was going to be able to travel around Europe as much as I wanted, which I was able to. Just use your money wisely and focus on the more important things to spend it on.
