The realisation that in two weeks I will have moved to a brand new country and start university in a city I’ve never even been to has just begun to sink in. As I’ve been wondering what kind of year Leiden will hold for me, I’ve found myself reflecting on what moving to Leicester for […]

As a northern lass hailing all the way from Newcastle, I’ve had my fair share of experiences with long distance relationships during my time at Leicester.

Being on my Year Abroad has been so fun but unfortunately there’s no escaping the final exams.. I’ve been revising mainly and trying to have breaks in between. There’s a really nice café called, ‘Manolitos’ just behind the faculty of Philology and they let you study there. It’s spacious and you can sit there for […]

Now that I’ve gotten used to the university more, I thought I’d write about it! Yesterday, my faculty had a party which is basically a day off where everyone dresses up in fancy dress and goes around the streets and then to the bars or clubs. It’s a lot of fun! I study in […]

Hello! I’ve been really busy at uni recently, so many classes and exams are coming up soon 🙁 but anyways, I thought I’d write a blog about improving a language abroad because I think it’s really important to be able to communicate with local people and to also feel at ease, like at home! […]

Hello, so today I’d like to share my thoughts on the University so far and what it’s like in general. Firstly, the workload at the University of Salamanca is pretty intense and I have a lot less free time than I would in England. Just to give you a rough idea I have 23 […]
