    International Students
    So as an International Student who's entering university in London this fall, I was wondering if there is anyone else here going through this.


    Oh, and I'm Aya. I'm from Egypt and I'm going to City University (stuck doing foundation first though), hoping to study sociology.

    What about you guys ?

    Egypt? Sweet. I want to visit Egypt whilst on that side of the globe. I'm from the US. Going to Aberystwyth. Studying Fine Art and Museum & Gallery Studies.

    Hi, I am an international student currently studying for A-levels in UK. Hopefully I am going to go to UK university next year. One of my university choice is going to be Sheffield
    What do you think about studying there as an international student? As my current college is an international one, so I haven't had any experience yet about getting along with the local students. Is it easy to get along with others there?

    Hey, sorry for the late reply. I was backpacking round Europe

    Sheffield has a great international community! There are tons of events and people are generally really fun to get along with. I would definitely recommend staying in student accommodation as it is a great opportunity to meet new people.

    I'm from the Philippines and I'll be entering uni September next year Already got a conditional offer from Liverpool (Foundation) and Central Lancashire (Game Dev) the other week, but I'll still be applying via UCAS to other universities this October.

    I'm already a college student here and I've been told that I can apply for direct entry to the universities that I'm gonna be applying to (Liverpool (Computer Science), Manchester (Computer Science), Lancaster (Computer Science), Salford (Computer and Videogames) and Manchester Met (Computer Games Technology).

    In the University of London there are so many international students you can contact to them and there is a company for you sure.
