What was the highlight of your overseas experience?
Being able to do a 3 week course in-between my home studies while traveling. Meeting people from all over the world and understanding a different way of learning and education in general.

What challenges did you face while abroad, and how did you overcome them?
The expected standard of work was high. The systems they taught with were different and it was a very high paced course. Being organised and motivated helped me overcome these challenges.

What advice would you give to other students considering a similar overseas opportunity?
Do it. The experience of getting out of your comfort zone. living in London and appreciating one of the best universities in the world is incredible!
