factores a tener en cuenta al venir a
Edimburgo académicos estudias y apruebas!
El sistema británico de educación es mucho más
flexible. personales mejoras tu inglés y
conoces a gente interesante de todas las partes
del mundo. clima hace menos frío que en
Burgos y lo de la lluvia es un mito ni tanto ni
tan a menudo. precios salvo alojamiento y
transporte, es todo igual o más barato que en
España. Edimburgo una de las ciudades más
bonitas de Europa, y hasta hay una playa de
verdad! de fiesta se puede salir todos los
días y a precios más asequibles que en España.
moda las escocesas van casi desnudas y nosotros
podemos llevar falda!
