" I thought that it was a very useful trip! I got to meet so many new people and luckily became friends with all of them! I really liked the city of Edinburgh and the scenery. And the way that the whole trip was planned out had included everyone’s opinion. It was very good! "
Lower Sixth Student
" I met many people from different schools, we communicated with each other about our different school lives, we shared our experiences about study to each other. Meeting different people in my life I feel the world is so colourful, although we have different thinkings or even different culture, we are all getting better from the shadow of other person. I must say homestay was a memorable time in my first term study. "
