Students
•
« In
my case, it was such a small faculty, everyone knew everyone, it was like a big
family and I was really welcome. »
• « Okay, that's the dark part,
the sad part. It's quite expensive. »
•
«
It was so different to what I was used to, there were a lot of lectures and
tutorials, it created such a good relation between you and your teacher/tutor
and other students. »
•
«Nottingham
is a nice city with a big student community, although English students are not
very keep to meet international students, especially from Western part of
Europe. »
•
«
The advice that I would give future students is that they should choose courses
that really interest them, that they shoul participate in the social activities
that are offered »
