“...as an international student in Texas, I valued the interactions with tutors and students from other parts of the world, with everyone bringing unique perspectives based upon interpretive sites and visitor experiences in their geographic areas. Even though I was studying thousands of miles away from UHI, I never felt ‘alone’ in my studies. My experience at UHI was very positive and I have many wonderful memories of it!”
