Here’s what one of our FLEAP faculty said about their experience: <i>“Working with ISA/Worldstrides was a dream come true. Not only was our group guaranteed a knowledgeable hand on the other side of the Atlantic but having someone show us the ropes for navigating
 unfamiliar terrain brought us up to speed, allowing us to get to know Scotland at a much quicker pace. ISA/Worldstrides proved to be an invaluable on-the-ground resource and offered a built-in familiarity that made traveling abroad deeply rewarding.”</i> - <b>Professor
