Home away from Home
When your student life is in the UK, you will quickly find a home away from home. Many people find it difficult to move away and start a new life in a new country, but the UK is home to students from all over the world. This means you will easily come across peers from your home country when you arrive on campus. Take the opportunity to make new friends and find living arrangements that keep you close to familiar faces.
Making friends with fellow students from your home country gives you the chance to celebrate special events and key cultural moments that others in the UK may not know about. What may seem like a lonely journey is likely to be filled with new friends when you know where to look!
New Experiences
There is so much to learn from the people around you when you arrive in the UK. Your formal education may take place on campus but you can also learn much about the world in a multicultural city. When you study in a UK city, make a point of trying all the different food from international vendors, take in the sights and sounds of the bustling streets and visit the countryside during holidays for breath-taking views.
Use your time in the UK to share your own culture with the people you meet there. When you form bonds with students from other countries, you can share each other’s traditions and even start to form your own traditions together. If you want to feel more confident about speaking English in the city you’ve chosen to study in, we offer free practice tests to help you prepare for the IELTS test which you can use for general practice too – access the practice tests here.
