Manal
Hola everyone! My name is Manal and I am currently studying Management Studies here at the University of Leicester. I aim to give you an insight into university life as an International Student and how to make the most of your time here. In my free time, when I manage not to burn down the kitchen (inadvertently of course) while cooking what looks like food, you will find me enjoying a good classic novel with a cup of hot chocolate, spending time with friends or focusing on finding new ways to make my time at University as rewarding and memorable as possible!

La La Liverpool
Posted by Manal in Management on March 31, 2017
I am currently sitting in my hotel room, as I type this blog post, at Liverpool with a bag of crunchy toffee popcorn by Butterkist (which you must try if you haven’t already) after a long day of sightseeing. I mentioned in my last post that I had planned a short trip with my friend […]
