Science Study Abroad Programs in Scotland

Studying abroad in Glasgow, Scotland as an American student was truly a once in a lifetime experience. Living amongst other American ISA students allowed me to feel comfortable living in a new country as we were all going through the experience together. While my ISA roommates became my best friends, I also made friendships with other international students that lived in my building, were in my classes, and I met on campus international student events. I felt supported and welcomed as an international student by ISA staff, Glasgow staff, Scotland residents, and by my friends! The planned ISA activities showed me different Scottish culture traditions and beautiful destinations in Scotland. I also had so much freedom and free time to travel with the friends I made to other countries in europe. My ISA advisor helped my friends and I find affordable flights and rooming and made sure we were taken care of to travel safely. My ISA advisor became a friend to me who was always there to support me! Taking classes in a different country felt scary to me at first, but ultimately benefited me as I learned how to gauge a new style of learning! This experience taught me so much that I am forever grateful for! I plan to visit Scotland in the future and recommend a trip or study abroad experience to anywho who has the privilege of going.

Going to a new country by yourself can be scary, but the beginning of every new adventure is. Along the way you’ll discover the support and community offered by ISA, lifelong friends, and a love for a country that once seemed so far away. Take the leap and book your flight.
