THE UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH
Edinburgh, Scotland
The one-thousand-year-old city of Edinburgh is perched dramatically on a series of extinct volcanoes and surrounded by the legendary verdant Scottish countryside on the south, east and west, and by a striking rocky shoreline to the north. It is home to Edinburgh Castle and some of the best galleries, museums, and restaurants in the UK. Add to the mix world class theatre and a fantastic variety of festivals—from the Book Festival to the Military Tattoo to the Edinburgh Mela—and you have a lively cosmopolitan atmosphere with a distinctly Scottish twist.
Participants in the Stetson Abroad Edinburgh program attend classes with U.K. students at the University of Edinburgh, one of the U.K.’s best, and can choose from a wide variety of courses.
The International Student Center at the University of Edinburgh plans trips and excursions each weekend. Recent excursions have included visits to the Scottish Parliament, the Isle of Arran, and the city of Glasgow. Stetson University provides a stipend for two to three excursions. .
The Stetson Abroad program is competitive. Enrollment is limited in all programs. Meeting the requirements does not guarantee admission to a given program in a given semester.

Overview:
Cost
For students who live on campus and have a full meal plan, the cost for a semester abroad is approximately the same as the DeLand campus. Refer to the “Expenses” section of the most recent Stetson Bulletin for Comprehensive Fee information. Stetson merit aid, federal aid, state grants (such as FRAG), and other scholarships for study at Stetson are available for study abroad when the program of study is a Stetson Abroad program. Employee tuition benefits do not apply to study abroad programs. (In the event you decide to study abroad through a non-Stetson Abroad program, the financial aid you receive would more than likely not be available to use.) It is important to contact the Office of Financial Aid to determine the best course of action for your particular situation.
Stetson covers basic expenses abroad including: tuition, housing, food, international health insurance, and some excursions.
Expenses not covered include: travel to and from the study site (including airfare, train and bus travel), passport, visa, document mailings, and room deposits. Furthermore, meals in restaurants, personal travel, entertainment, etc. come at extra cost to the student. Participants are advised to have at least $100-200 per week abroad in personal funds available to them.
Accommodations: Student residence
Accommodations vary widely. Students have some choice of accommodations. The University of Edinburgh Accommodations Office will inform students of their options.
