From Boston to Edinburgh and back (hopefully with a Master's Degree)!
« on: August 07, 2010, 04:04:59 PM »
Hey friends--

My name is Caroline, I'm 22, and moving to Edinburgh (in 5 weeks!) for a year or two to complete my MSc in Film Studies! I've been to England and a lot of Europe, as my dad is Portuguese, but never to Scotland. Very excited! Thanks in advance for all of your help!

Welcome to UKY!

I love Edinburgh. I visited for the first time last December and it really puts London to shame! Have a great time there and good luck with your studies!  :)

Welcome to the forum and to Scotland too. I love Edinburgh and live over the Forth Road Bridge about 35 min from Edinburgh.

Welcome!  I went to school in Boston and I'm a lifelong (and long-suffering) Red Sox fan :)

Hiya
Forgot to say I am Massachusetts born and bred and lived there all my life till i came to Scotland..
Just for geographic reference if you are going to be living in Edinburgh... Inverness is UP there.. Its way up northeast part of Scotland.
I keep up on Boston news online via the news sites.. like WBZ,WHDH etc..
Most of my relatives are still in Massachusetts..

I haven't made it out to The Scottish Castle yet, but it's on my vague list of things to do.  Other than Culloden and a token trip to Loch Ness (it was a dinner cruise and the sun set before we even made it through all the locks), I haven't done much exploring around Inverness! I should rectify that!

Welcome to UKY!

There's a few of us kicking about up here north of the border.  :)  Edinburgh is great and I bet you're going to have a fantastic time.

Good luck with your course!  :)

Welcome to UKY!
I suggest getting a google voice account while still in the states since it is out of the beta part anyone can get it! It will come in handy to work in conjuntion with skype and text to your email, if you get email on your cell here ect...
Its my life saver
