Some of my friends have left me and became international students in the United Kingdom. They wanted me to come with them but I am still trying to find out if I could be a survivor in a foreign land. They told me it would be a very exciting challenge. We are fond of having adventures and now this is what they want to do. I am still quite nervous about being away from my family and living alone in a different place with a different culture could be very difficult for me.

However, even if I am not yet decided, I have already seen a university video of one university in UK. It was very convincing to see the students and lecturers speak about the university’s experience in accepting international students. I discovered a lot of interesting facts about the university’s reputation and how they support their students.

Seeing a university video is really a good help in deciding what university to apply for. Aside from reading their website, I have been very keen in observing the environment while the students were being interviewed in the university video. I am one step closer to becoming a university student and maybe an international student.
