I have loved my time spent studying at the University of Nottingham (ok, maybe not the studying part) but the university experience they provide is incredible.

The first year, I was living on the campus, I managed to meet lots of new people, despite the ongoing pandemic, and have made many great friends. Living on campus was an amazing experience, it has lots of amenities which make it easy to buy things and live comfortably without having to leave. But also, the great public transport made it very easy to travel into the city or the nearby town of Beeston.

For my second year, I lived in a house with six other people in Dunkirk – this was also a great experience. I had even more independence and was able to fully experience ‘being a grown-up’.

I study Hispanic Studies (where I learn Spanish and Portuguese,) and nothing has ever given me as much fulfilment as learning these languages and gaining the appreciation for the cultures that they are a part of.
