Erasmus Experience in Edinburgh, United Kingdom by Paris

Why did you choose to go to Edinburgh, United Kingdom?

Because my sister finished university here. Also, education is free. When I came here I was fascinated by the architecture of the city. It is very beautiful and if you don't have a problem with the rainy weather then this place is perfect for you.

How long is the scholarship? How much money do you receive to help you with living costs?

It is a 4-year course. My parents give me 200-300 pounds per month to live in. And to tell you the truth I only need 200. The good thing here is that you can find a job very easily. There are so many places that are looking for students it is unbelievable.

What is the student lifestyle like in Edinburgh?

It is nice. Clubs close at 3 am. Before that, you can go to a pub or have pre drinks as we call them at a house. Pre drinks are that you gather up as a group and you drink before you go out, in order not to pay to much at the club. International students might find it weird... because students here go out to get drunk and not have fun.
