My Experience Abroad:
The University of Edinburgh is full of modern departments (biology, environmental science, politics) but exists in an ancient city, where 1000-year-old buildings can be seen today. It is an excellent place for those who are not academically focused on history to explore both historic sites and modern European culture.
