I thought it would be fun, both for myself and others, to create a “Day in the Life: University of Edinburgh Visiting Student” vlog. I mainly create videos and blogs of different excursions and adventures that I take since being in Scotland. I wanted people to see what a typical day is like for a visiting student in Scotland, so I filmed parts of my day and voilà, a video was created!
My typical day starts with waking up around 8:00 am and getting ready for the day. I live in catered housing, so I typically eat breakfast with my friends and then make my way to George Square (the main location for classes at the University of Edinburgh). I attend classes, go to the library (not shown in this video), eat lunch, find a cozy spot on campus to do work, and then head back to my accommodation. I usually eat dinner with friends and then go to different campus or Arcadia events some nights.
The day I was filming, the university brought in therapy alpacas in George Square Gardens, which were very adorable. I also attended the Arcadia Ceilidh (Scottish dancing) for a nice night out with friends and fellow Arcadia students.
These pieces were created by student contributors. The views and opinions expressed are their own and do not necessarily reflect those of Arcadia Abroad.
