Edinburgh Center
Experienced support and guaranteed good humor throughout your stay in Scotland
The Arcadia Edinburgh Center is the hub for Arcadia student support throughout Scotland. We are located in a beautiful 18th Century Georgian building on the campus of the University of Edinburgh in a charming city that is designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site .
Our center and its staff will help you settle in and make the most out of your stay in Scotland, helping you coordinate with your Scottish institution and offering guest lecturers, presentations from community leaders, cultural workshops and research seminars on topical issues. We’ll also show you around Edinburgh and help you relate your American life to your new Scottish lifestyle.
Arcadia has a longstanding history in Scotland, with our first students studying abroad in Scotland in 1976. Today we have staff and associated faculty to support all students in both direct enroll programs across Scotland and center based programming. This experience and all Center activities are at your disposal, wherever you are studying in this enthralling country.
