Plymouth has a lot of clubs and societies, so there is a great balance between studying and socialising. The University is very close to the city centre and the Plymouth Hoe and Barbican area, which is very beautiful and I love to go there when the sun is shining – it is a great place to have a picnic with friends.
I did not have any issues adjusting to the British culture, as the people here are very friendly and easy going.
It is very interesting to meet different people with different backgrounds, as this adds to your experience.
I received a lot of support from the International Student Advice department. When I first arrived there was an international orientation week, which offered a free airport meet and greet service, plus several sessions offered to students, giving us lots of help on how to settle in to Plymouth.
