Hello all - I'm a runner at a fairly competitive D3 school, looking to study abroad during my junior spring.
In addition to quality of university, which is easy enough to discern, I'm hoping for a good place to train, natural beauty, and kind/friendly people. Not a huge partier, but I enjoy going out and drinking once a week or so. I'd like there to be other things to do besides partying though. Oh - I'd also like the cost of living to be fairly cheap.
As of now, my options are New Zealand (Dunedin or Wellington), Scotland (Edinburgh or St Andrews) and Ireland (Dublin, Cork, Galway).
If any of you have any words of advice or have been to/ran in these places, I'd love to hear what you have to say!
