Hey! Benvenuti!

Seeing as this is my first blog post, I thought I’d spend a little bit of time introducing myself!!

So, my name’s Katie, I’m a fourth year student and I’m going to be spending the next academic year writing about my experiences, providing tips and advice, and expressing my opinions on what it’s like to to be a student of Modern Languages with History of Art at the University of Leicester. I’m studying a joint honours in these two subjects so you can expect future blog posts to centre around both sides of my degree!

When I’m not at university I like to travel, visit museums and galleries, paint, cook, drink tea, and sleep. A lot of my free time this year will also be dedicated to the running of the University of Leicester Erasmus & Exchange Society, or ULEES – a society that I was recently elected Secretary for. So you can expect some insight into international student life as well (I’ve just returned from my year abroad in Italy and I miss the Erasmus lifestyle so much…).

Whether or not you’re thinking about applying for a course at the University of Leicester, whether you’ve already been accepted, or whether you’re just interested in finding out more about student life in Leicester, then stay tuned because you’ll find it all right here on this blog!

Until next time! x
