University

20 years ago

Hello! My name is Emma. I am an American student seriously considering studying at the University of Edinburgh, either as a regular international student or as a study abroad student. From what I understand, university in Scotland is quite different from university in the United States. Could anyone explain to me what it is like? I am used to picking out four or five separate courses each semester, going to each class two or three times a week, taking exams throughout the course, and writing a few papers, depending on the class. How different is that from university in Scotland? What do the professors expect from their students? Would my experience be any different if I were a study abroad student rather than a regular student? I would like to know what I should expect before committing to go, so I would appreciate any advice and explanations you can give. Thanks!
