Sleep is honestly the best thing ever! Well next to chocolate! And yeah, I wasn't a big fan of Morrison's, but the one here is nice
and very central. You can easily walk back from there, but if you have a couple of heavy bags you can get the number 29 from right outside the shop and it will take you all the way to right outside Sentinel for £1. It's honestly a life saver!
And yeah Sentinel is nice because there are 'party flats' and people will put on the facebook group pages inviting people, so if you ever did fancy a drink or whatever, it's not like it doesn't happen at all here, just maybe less so than some other places! I'm pretty much a hermit. I like to hide in my room all the time!
The poster I got at a poster sale in the union during freshers
Also got a teeny tiny little baymax colour changing light on my desk. And I only have snorlax and pikachu here. Back at home I have something stupid like 20 pokemon plushes. And 3 pokemon hats...and a pikachu onesie...and my dog has a pikachu onsie...and I have 2 pokemon cosplay hoodies and one 'normal' hoodie. As well as all of the games of course. Honestly. It's a bit out of hand.
As for exchange students there are LOADS. There was a girl from Japan staying with me first Semester, and now a girl from Korea this semester
There are loads of international students as well. In my randomly assigned group project group at university I am the only person born in England out of the 6 of us! I've spoken to people from Australia, the states, canada, pretty much every european country, korea, japan, china, Taiwan, Indonesia, many south African countries as well.
The internet speed is fine
I stream internet tv through a now tv box and also use the internet to play games on my wii u (ethernet cable for those things though) and yeah never really had a problem
Bonus is, it's the same network the university uses as well, so you only need to remember one log in!
