Visiting Aberdeen University

1/ July/2011

We went to Aberdeen University in the city of Aberdeen. When we arrived there the professor Jane Stevenson gave a presentation about the Lost City and the Old Aberdeen. We saw many pictures of the old city in 1639 and she showed us the cover page of Aberdeen–the oldest book of Aberdeen. Also we knew that the university till the 20th was only for male students, at that time female students were not allowed to enter the school or have the chance to learn.

After lunch, Professor William Naphy gave us a presentation and talked about how ^Arabic language was the language of trade. Also he talked about many scientists such as Robert Wilson and John Forbes. After this presentation we had the chance to give them a gift from our university and at the same time they gave each university student a memorabilia gift from the Aberdeen University. 

Then we went on a tour to see the new university, we met some Arabian students, and walked around the buildings. In addition, we went to Old Aberdeen and saw the old buildings, at the time when we were walking we saw a wedding and we took some pictures there.

 We really enjoyed the day although the way was very far to Aberdeen.
