Trip of a Lifetime!

This trip was an amazing experience to me. I adored the professors and riding instructors and Oatridge College in general. The setting was ideal and beautiful, and while you did have to take a short trip by taxi to either the small city of Uphall or into Edinburgh for good food and a social scene, it was still fun. The college food was lacking, however, and we did have a lot of issues with the internet, so I would highly recommend anyone who is going on this program to get an overseas phone and plan, just because regular contact with the states and each other was scarce.

I wish I could go back already! Although, if I could do it again without Adelante as a middle man, I would. They were very scarce with their information and communication in general as the trip approached, and they could have given us better information about the clothing (they don't all wear black like they said, and it would have been good to know we couldn't wear hoods on the yard) and they didn't coordinate everyone's pick up/arrival times, as one student had no one to pick her up from the airport because they didn't pass along the correct information, and the correct phone numbers weren't given to her to call for a pick up. Without Adelante to mess it up, I would totally do it all again.
