Brett studies away in Scotland

October 5, 2015 by Angela Barker

This summer Broadcast Journalism student Brett Kaprelian studied away in Scotland. He blogged about his trip so he could share his experiences with us. Here’s the first installment.

Scotland – Week One

The first week in Scotland was such a fun experience! I love every second here so far.

The countryside is gorgeous. It’s very hilly with grass as green as I have ever seen, not to mention there are beautiful castles everywhere.

On campus at Stirling University, there is a castle.

The first couple of days I was up here, I went over to Edinburgh, the second biggest city in Scotland. I saw parliament, the queen’s vacation house, and the Edinburgh castle.

There is so much history there, it’s crazy. I also ran into the First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon (like the president of Scotland). She is super nice and very excited that we are staying in Scotland for a month.

I can’t wait to explore more of the Scottish culture and make more friends.

So far so good!
