I've dreamed of visiting Scotland ever since I was a little girl and finally with CIS my dream came true! It was truly a once in a lifetime experience that I will cherish for ever. I made so many wonderful friends, some who I can even call my best friends. I had so many unbelievable experiences. I learned so many valuable life lessons.

Overall this was a great experience. I really enjoyed the location as well as the campus, which is so picturesque. It was also nice to be immersed in the scottish culture and really get a better feel for the the country than if I had just visited for a few days. I wasn't a fan of the academics.

I have had a fantastic time studying abroad, but my program provider had very little to do with that. Since arriving, I have had little communication with CIS, which suited me just fine.

The staff were friendly and answered my questions in a timely manner. Read more
