Review

The staff and instructors were incredible. So kind and helpful, we all loved them! They made us feel right at home and made learning fun. The campus is beautiful and overall I had a positive experience.
In hindsight I feel like some things were not advertised appropriately. Edinburgh is 45 minutes from campus and not 20 minutes as stated. It also takes closer to an hourb or an hour and a half to get there if you don't take a taxi straught there because you have to use multiple forms of transportation to get to the city (i.e. take 2 separate buses to get you there, or walk 30 minutes to the bus station, or bus then walk 25 min to the train station). Getting to the city was not as easy or as cheap as advertised, and public transportation was often unreliable. This is not the college's fault of course, I just think it was falsely advertised by the program.
I also would have preferred to be advised ahead of time that there is no air conditioning in any of the buildings. We were also out of hot water in our flat for about a week, despite maintenance coming to fix it multiple times. It was moreso just inconvenient., but the professors did want to ensure it was fixed right away.

Would you recommend this program?
Yes, I would
