Tell us about your abroad experience: Studying abroad in Scotland was truly a coming of age experience. I loved immersing myself in a metropolitan city and gaining a deeper appreciation for performance art and Scottish literature. Exploring the Scottish countryside and learning about the rich history of the Highlands was magical. The scots are very relaxed and welcoming which made my experience all the more amazing.
