Overall
Personal comments:
Most of the activities are well organised but should also be advanced with the growing age. A lot of emphasis should also be given to extra curicular activities. Inputs on a individuals personal and professional career should be given to broaden ones horizon.

I wish I had known...
Way of studying is different from the on I experienced in my home country. Students are expected to spend a lot of time studying alone and the system is more focused on reading and writing than on lecturing and teaching.
In my opinion:
Most people loved it.



During my experience abroad, I ...
Became familiar with another culture

Happened quite a lot.
Happened a bit.
Didn't happen.
Traveled
Improved language skills
Met people from other countries

Personal recommendation:
University of Huddersfield provides a wide range of facilities and has really friendly athmosphere. It also is placed in one of the cheapest regins in England.



FINAL COMMENTS

Huddersfield is a small town in the centre of UK and is a great starting point for the country exploration. It also has well developed public transport enabling easy access to nearby cities e.g. Manchester, Leeds.
