I graduated from the university of Brighton in 2005, where I took on a BA Hons in English studies with linguistics and French as a minor. First of all, I must say that the overall experience was very positive, both in terms of what I gained academically, as well as the social skills I gained from studying alongside students from many different parts of the Globe. Besides I also benefitted from the new state of the art facilities that were under construction, such as the new library, which if I am not mistaken were finished throughout the course of my first year. This was provided very conveniently with state of the art equipment. With regard to the quality of the teaching of my professors and the quality of the research carried out by the school of languages, these were ranked with four and five points respectively out of five possible points that was the maximum score in order to measure these two sections of the school of languages.__On the other hand, there were some downsides at Falmer’s campus, such as the limited capacity of the halls of residence for the 1st year students. Thus, in my 1st year, I could not get a room there, even though I was a fresher and from overseas. As I said earlier I benefitted enormously from the teaching of my professors, whose lectures I found very interesting and enriching, and whom I found very supportive during my studies and even after I had concluded my studies. I would also like to dedicate a few words of gratitude to all the staff at the school of languages as well as to all my fellow colleagues. __
