The post-exchange blues are inevitable, but the experience was unforgettable. Being able to travel to Glasgow was amazing. At first, it was at times difficult to understand the accents of the Scottish. But after getting accustomed to the cultural differences it felt like I was internationally linked which was pretty cool. (By the way, they are not French fries… they are CHIPS!!!!) As far as the educational aspect of the exchange goes, things are quite similar yet very much different. For example, some of the chemistry they were learning was the same as that of our curriculum, (such as acid-base equilibria, kinetics, etc). In the biology lab we were doing experiments with how temperature affects enzyme activity, which is something we recently learned in our own biology labs. However in Scotland, education is much more geared to a specific career path from the get-go. What I mean is that if you want to become a doctor there, you go straight into a medical school rather than earning an undergraduate degree. Their classes are designed such that students will acquire all knowledge needed in four years, cutting out the undergraduate middleman. The students there seem to be more oriented around success as a group rather than as an individual student, which I felt allowed them to excel in such a way that they could contribute to society as a group. The students also said that college is free!!! I think that overall, taking classes in Glasgow would be very rewarding, and is definitely something for all students to consider.
