My first one-year study abroad period at the UOE was one of the most memorable and unforgettable year for me. Although it was stressful sometimes, I managed to overcome this one year because of helpful and friendly people including teachers and my colleagues. I learned how to manage my time effectively, how to do self-learning, and how to apply the advanced technology for searching reliable data and continuous learning. I met and made many friends who were from diverse backgrounds and different countries. I learned a lot from them, too. Now I have friends from different parts of the world that I am really proud of. Moreover, this one year course made me to get back my self-confidence again. The UOE and the Edinburgh will always be my second home away from my home.
