Student Spotlight – Melody Kong, Summer School, China
"There's a lot to see and do in Edinbuirgh: I love the Festival atmosphere in the city in August - the people from all over the world, the music and theatre in the streets (Free Acts! Great!) Also with the social programme organised by the College we could visit places outside the city - my favourite trip was to Loch Lomond - that was a wonderful day! The trips were also a good chance to make friends and practise English - that's what I did!"
