To be very honest with you, I cannot say I love this university.
It does not mean that they have a poor quality of facilities or teaching. Of course, this is life, so it is impossible to appreciate everything, so I have several things that I do not like such as timetables. Since the timetable system has just changed, there are quite a few technical issues happening to many students, which is inconvenient. However, the technical support staff has been working so hard to manage the problems. I can tell that because their in-person supports were helpful when I faced some technical issues.
To reflect on my review title, I have a lot of opportunities to take a careful look at myself.
I am an international student from Japan. Although English is not my second language, I believe that my English is understandable. Moreover, I have nice communication skills, hence it is not difficult to make friends no matter where I am in. Nevertheless, being an international student living in the countryside of the UK separated from my family gives me a lot of time to consider who I am.
Sometimes, it hurts me because I am more likely to be able to see weak parts of myself. This is not a bad thing as I consider this a benefit; I have great opportunities to know myself better than before, and I embrace it and take quick actions to improve myself.
Furthermore, the population of students from Japan is small at this university Thus, I can push myself to get to feel at home in this country.
