I have been able to find more room for personal achievement
Hello everyone! My Name is Jorge, I am from Mexico and also a student not once, but twice in the UK. The first time I came to the UK was when I started my MSc in Microbiology at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland.
On the other hand, here at the University of Nottingham located in the East Midlands of England, is very similar to my previous Scottish experience in many aspects, but in some others I have been able to find more room for personal achievement, learning and time management, as well as developing finesse in my research skills. I am under the guidance of two supervisors, matter that seems scary, but it is deeply enriching, and both of them are helpful and keen to teach, something makes me feel truly fortunate to be able to keep studying under such a caring and professional guidance. Moreover, Nottingham is a student city in all matters, hence there are many places where to go, visit, chill, study, travel, shop for every age.
Finally, some tips that can be truly helpful, small details but they do create a big difference is not to bring so much clothing over here, UK weather is so unpredictable but fortunately UK people have shops for any kind of day, thus, come lightweight and enjoy shopping here. Also change your standard credit/debit for a contactless, and finally avoid much currency exchange, save money, and go contactless for (almost) everything.
