February Break 2014 -- Scotland

February 2014 -- University of Aberdeen and the University of St. Andrews

With offers in hand, K, S and I set off to visit the University of Aberdeen and the University of St. Andrews.  We landed in Aberdeen, checked into our hotel and then walked 30 minutes to the University of Aberdeen.  We looked around a bit and signed up for a tour later in the week.  After resting in the hotel, we went to Jamie Oliver's restaurant for dinner.  The next day, we got up early and took the train to Edinburgh.  We had to bribe Katie to get her to consent to this side trip.  We toured the Castle, had a quick lunch and then took the train to St. Andrews.  In St. Andrews, we met Melissa (Nancy Ayre's niece) for dinner and then Sarah met graduates of FIS for lunch the next day.  Thursday, we departed St. Andrews and took the train back to Aberdeen.  The next day we toured the University of Aberdeen and then returned to good old Oberursel.   All and all, we saw some beautiful schools and had some laughs.  Just ask them about the bathroom on the train.  Fun times with K and S.
