I think the UK is the best place when it comes to academics. I came to visit a UK university and just thought, “this is it”. It’s quite comfortable here, and people are social. I didn’t know anyone when I first arrived, but within my first day I was invited to a party with some new friends.
My favourite thing about the UK is the amount of things to do. There is always a place to go, or something to do with your friends. I don’t usually get bored. It’s really fun and I enjoy living here.
I really enjoy living here because since I arrived I've found that the people are really friendly to me and help me a lot. When I first moved here I didn't know how to use the coins, but people helped me to pay and choose the right ones!
