WKU student Aric Johnson has received a Rotary Ambassadorial Scholarship to live and study for a year in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Rotary Ambassadorial Scholarship applicants select up to five different schools and countries to which to apply, but Johnson’s leading choice was the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. While studying at Harlaxton College in England, Johnson became friends with a student from Glasgow, who invited Johnson up to Scotland one weekend.

They traveled to Edinburgh, where, Johnson said, his friend introduced him to Scottish culture. “We did all the tourist stuff: walked the Royal Mile, visited the Scotch History Museum, and toured Edinburgh castle,” he said. “And he tried to get me to eat haggis.”

Johnson was attracted to the academic strengths of the University of Edinburgh, known internationally as one of the top 20 institutions for biomedical research. He will take courses in the biomedical sciences, pharmacology, pathophysiology and advanced biochemistry next year before attending medical school in the U.S.

From the moment I set foot onto the campus at Harlaxton College, I knew that it was going to be a very different semester from any other semester that I had ever had. On the second day here, we were told something that no college student is ever told. In his welcome speech, Dr. Kingsley told us that “this was our home” and that we needed to learn to lean on and listen to each other, because from this point until 16 April, “each other is all we’ve got.” (You see, I listened to lectures at the beginning of school.)
