Scotland Equine not as Expected

Program: Equine Summer Study in Scotland - Adelante Abroad

My most memorable experience is getting to know the girls who were in the program every night we would just hang out and talk. I chose this program because it was one of the only ones that allowed you to ride and take classes all in one place! They were nice to have your own room and spacious. A lot of the fixtures didn't work and we did not have hot water for half of the time here.

Poor Communication amoung staff but overall great experience

My favourite part of the trip was our days in Edinburgh. There is one day scheduled, but we went in ourselves a few times and had a blast. I loved the Edinburgh Dungeons "ride." I chose this program because I had a hard time finding equine specific programs. We had a room and bathroom to ourselves. Twin beds, very uncomfortable. An armoire (barely used), dresser and desk. The shower is seriously IN the bathroom. No tub, just a curtain and shower head. Laundry is £3 total and in a separate building. Kitchen with oven, fridge, toaster, microwave and seats. No TV.

I loved visiting Saint Andrews and the city of Edinburgh. I am an Equine Science major and it was difficult to find programs that just catered to horse lovers and let you ride I loved having my own room but the beds were very uncomfortable. The food was alright.
