Eye opening and intellectually enriching
July 28, 2025by: Adriana EspositoProgram: CIEE HS Summer Abroad: Creative Writing in EdinburghI would be likely to recommend CIEE global navigator program, Scotland to a friend because the experience was very eye opening and intellectually enriching for me whilst also maintaining an equal amount of fun.
I feel prepared for college
September 04, 2024by: Lucy A.Program: CIEE HS Summer Abroad: Creative Writing in EdinburghIt’s a learning experience everyone needs before entering college. I came here alone not knowing anyone or what Edinburgh had to offer me but I took a flight and 3 weeks went by like 3 days. The schedule is always packed with things to do and see. It was incredible to be able to stand in the room we were learning about and words just flood in. Suddenly I’m filling up 3 pages of writing like it was nothing.
