A Yank in Scotland

Original post:

U.S student at Edinburgh

My daughter was just admitted to Edinburgh for the fall 2026. She is a US student. If she accepts the invitation she will go there not knowing anyone or anything about the city. I’d like to know anyone’s thoughts on what she might experience as an American both positively and negatively. Academically and socially. Thanks.

Update: In addition to Edinburgh, she’s received offers from St. Andrews, UCL, and Durham and an interview for Oxford (modern languages, French). So there will be a lot of discussion necessary. Thanks everyone for your help.
