Because Arcadia: Student Blog

Hello! I am Sydney Smith and I am a junior International Studies major and Political Science minor from Arcadia University in Glenside, Pennsylvania. I originally hail from the Lone Star State of Texas, and am currently residing in Aberdeen, Scotland where I will be studying abroad for the next five months at the University of Aberdeen. Due to my love of castles developed through my time at Arcadia’s own Grey Towers Castle, I will be traveling and chronicling my explorations of many of Scotland’s historic sites and my reflections of them. Additionally, I will be writing about my general adventures while I am here abroad. Cheers!
