Ah, the UCAS application. Not much actually goes into it, just your personal statement, where you want to apply to, and you details. Sounds easy, right! But there’s a lot of umming and ahhing that goes on when you decide you want to try out uni life, and I spent plenty of time unsure of how to start my statement and […]

When I came to the Netherlands, I’d heard from several people that the level of work, teaching and what was expected of you was generally lower than that of England. This, combined with the fact that an Erasmus year is just pass/fail, left me with high hopes of an easy year of studying, with more […]

Uni life is fun – you learn a lot, meet a lot of people, and make friends for the rest of your life. But it is not always painted in pink – hard moments have their place, too. Such a moment hit me the past week, when I have learnt, in my own […]

In what feels like the blink of an eye, I’ve finished my first semester which means I have three months of time to fill. I’ll be staying in college for the next three weeks and I’m planning on spending the time doing a bit more exploring, but also some less fun stuff. The time has come […]

As I sat down to write this post I didn’t know what to write about; my classes are plodding along slowly and I’ve not had any assessments to talk about. Apart from moving accommodation, the start of my spring semester here at UTA has been relatively quiet. I’ve spent most of my time adjusting to […]

Guten Abend!

During my first month in France, I kept referring back to this phrase as my ‘get out of jail free’ card. Eveytime I was in a situation where I had to think about what I had to say in French I’ll just say ‘je ne parle pas Francais. Parlez-Vous Anglais?’ The reason I did this […]

I went for a walk with my German housemate the other day, and she did a year abroad in England a couple of years ago, and she told me “you’d better find an answer for ‘what was your favourite part?’ because people are going to ask that about your year abroad a lot”. So I’ve […]

Yesterday I went to visit the German town of Bamberg. I was really excited because it had been offered as one of the excursions run by the University, so I thought ‘it must be good!’ I hadn’t been able to make the excursion dates, so me and my housemate decided we’d go by ourselves. Beforehand […]
