If you participate in this program, you will be required to exchange four or five emails beginning in July through the 2nd week of classes. Entering students will be informed that this is an email-only relationship.
Your role will be to respond to questions about your major, the College of Science, and Purdue in general. You will not be expected to answer any questions about academic requirements and if you find your freshman partner has any, please refer him/her to their advisor.

Thinking about studying abroad?
Consider the University of St. Andrews
|
|
 |
| St. Andrews is Scotland's first university and the third oldest in the English-speaking world, founded in 1413. Over six centuries it has established a reputation as one of Europe's leading and most distinctive centers for teaching and research. This exchange program is not for the faint of heart. This academically rigorous institution is intellectually demanding and requires an independent approach to course work.You have to be able to hold your own in a class with some of the best students in Scotland and the U.K. In addition, St Andrews students are expected to undertake their own unsupervised independent study. The ethos of independent learning allows students to study topics in great depth and helps to develop analytical and problem-solving skills.
For more information about University of St. Andrews check out the this website.
