Sage KleidonUnited States · July 2023

Great program!

This was definitely a great experience! It was great exploring Edinburgh and I made great friends. I believe I was the first student in the Ag Business program so the placement wasn’t exactly what I was expecting but I still had a great time. The company I worked with were so nice and I got to see a lot of farms around Scotland which was amazing. The only complaint I have to Adelante is that they really don’t give you a ton of information about certain things. I had no idea about what I would be doing in my placement, who I would be working with, and certain things about the housing situation. Also the housing didn’t come with basic cooking staples like seasoning, cooking oil etc. otherwise the housing was great and super close to downtown which was nice. This program was still worth it, I made great friends and got to see so much of Scotland!

Agricultural economics in Scotland

I had a awesome time in Scotland for my internship. Everyone who I conducted interviews with and assessed on the farms were extremely nice. I had the opportunity to learn new schemes of dairy, cattle and sheep, and swine compared in Red Tractor and QMS (similar to USDA). In additional, I conducted research on use of antibiotics in livestock with co-workers that fully were able to understand my needs of research. My mom and aunt had the chance of seeing my place in Scotland and we traveled to Ireland and the Highlands together. I highly recommend going to the Highlands if not go to the Royal Highland Show!!! I would recommend someone in Agriculture to look at this experience because I was involved with great individuals and lifetime experiences in department of Agriculture.

Great International Experience

The internship program in Scotland through the Adelante program was a good experience. The staff at Adelante is easily accessible and want to help students gain experience and further their education. I couldn't have asked for better living accommodations, the apartment I shared with other American students from the Adelante program was centrally located just off the Royal Mile in Edinburgh. It was a great location for experiencing and indulging in the local culture and events.
