16 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!
