Fringe University "was a magical trip full of art, history, and more art. It was an inspiring and eye-opening adventure and has changed and developed my perspective and outlook on the eclectic world of arts that we live in today." Megan
"During my co-op with Fringe University in Edinburgh i was able to meet Tom Thum, a professional beatboxer, that has the most views of any performer on a TedX video. He invited me to an after party because I'm also a beatboxer and we connected. It was the best night of my life." Dan "Fringe University is not about a classroom, it’s about interacting with the world, and letting it answer your questions." Martina "The Fringe Festival brings so much excitement with it, and creates a buzz within the entire city of Edinburgh." Jenny "I’ve never experienced anything like the Festival before. There is a high energy, community atmosphere in the city. Everywhere I go, whether I’m flyering on the Royal Mile or having a drink in a pub, I meet people from different parts of the world. Each person has a story and a reason for being at the festival and every night is like a big networking event. The best part? Everyone wants to be there and is interested in telling you about themselves and hearing about you, too." Martine "Edinburgh was an amazing experience that I will treasure for the rest of my life."

"I was immersed in the most concentrated subculture of artists and art lovers that I have ever experienced. Every time you stood in a line or walked around the festival you could instantly have a conversation with someone who has the same love for theatre as you do! Every day was an opportunity to meet new people, learn from new perspectives and develop new relationships. The best thing about the Fringe is that no one is invited, so EVERYONE IS INVITED!" Marlyn
Fringe University "was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I have never been thrown into a fantastic situation where I had the chance to be immersed in a wide array of art and culture in a foreign setting. Having the opportunity to work alongside a real company granted me access to valuable working experience in the field that I plan to go into." Austin "The energy at the fringe festival is matched by even the most dramatic sporting events in the world. People have spilled their hearts and souls into their work." Eric "I’ve never experienced anything like the Festival before. There is a high energy, community atmosphere in the city. Everywhere I go, whether I’m flyering on the Royal Mile or having a drink in a pub, I meet people from different parts of the world. Each person has a story and a reason for being at the festival and every night is like a big networking event. The best part? Everyone wants to be there and is interested in telling you about themselves and hearing about you, too." Martine "I love the fact that, at least during the month of August, you can wander anywhere in Edinburgh and find something cool and interesting." Vishu |
