It is unbelievable how quickly time has passed. In only 3 weeks I will be packing my room off and leaving Leicester. But between now and then, I have 10 essays to complete and a lot of traveling yet to do!<\/p>\n<p>My semester at Leicester has gone unbelievably quick &#8211; just when I have started saying pounds instead of dollars, mastered the UK rail network and finally remembered my student id number.\u00a0 In such a short amount of time, I have studied areas I would not have studied at home, and seen and experience things I never would have dreamed of doing at home.\u00a0 There is so much more I wish I could see and do, but unfortunately my time is now coming to an end.<\/p>\n<p>In the next three weeks, apart from writing ten essays, I am going to Manchester and Liverpool for two days and I plan on going on a few more day trips around the UK.\u00a0 On Saturday, I arrived back from a few days away in Bristol and Bath.\u00a0 Bath, famous for the Roman Baths and its architecture, is definitely my favourite place I have visited so far and I would highly recommend going. After the semester officially ends, I will be traveling around Europe and hopefully, will experience a white Christmas.<\/p>\n<p>I have absolutely no regrets about doing this exchange. It has been such a worthwhile experience and I have gained skills and knowledge that I probably would not have learnt at home.\u00a0 I feel more confident and independent than ever before and I am now better prepared for life after university.<\/p>\n<p>For anyone considering doing an exchange, it\u2019s absolutely worth doing. Not only do you get to study and experience university in a different country but it is a great way to travel and meet people from all over the world. It is an experience you will never get as just a tourist. If you want to immerse yourself in the culture and community of a country, then do an exchange!<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Catherine Clemow ,\u00a0Bachelor of Behavioural Science (Psychology)\/Bachelor of Laws and Legal Practice\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><em><strong>student,\u00a0Semester 2 2017 exchange at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/le.ac.uk\/\">University of Leicester<\/a>, the United Kingdom\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Read Catherine\u2019s 1st blog post <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.flinders.edu.au\/student-exchange-experiences\/2017\/08\/24\/uk-bound\/\">here\u00a0<\/a> and 2nd blog post <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.flinders.edu.au\/student-exchange-experiences\/2017\/10\/30\/3-weeks-down-2-months-to-go\/\">here<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My time here at Leicester is coming to an end.
