WHERE SHE’S STUDYING University of St. Andrews in Scotland
WHY SHE CHOSE SCOTLAND “Since applying to Holy Cross two years ago, I have been obsessed with the possibility of someday studying at St. Andrews — the same university where Will and Kate met. They had just been married, and to say that I was a fan of the royal couple would be an understatement. So, when it came time to apply to study abroad, I chose to apply to St. Andrews. Although my obsession with the royal couple has faded a little, my interest in St. Andrews has not. I ultimately made the decision to attend St. Andrews to be a part of a school so steeped in tradition in and out of the classroom.”
WHAT SHE’S MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO “Being completely on my own in a foreign country, for this amazing opportunity to explore and travel Europe, and being a part of the St. Andrews community. While Scotland provides the opportunity to improve my golf game in the home of golf, partake in high teas and witness the Highland games, I will also be taught by some of this century’s most notable literary geniuses.”
WHY SHE’S BLOGGING “I am blogging because I was so unsure about studying abroad. Although I knew that this was something I wanted to do and I am excited to do, the whole process overwhelmed me. I hope that through my blog, I can share my experiences and offer clarity to anyone making this decision themselves.”
