England from the student perspective

Nov 1, 2011

So far, my experiences in being a student in England, have been pretty different from what I imagined. There are some things I am so glad I did, and other thats I wish I would have. So, here are some things I feel important for an incoming student to know:
1. I came two weeks early so that I could be a part of the international student orientation. I can't explain how happy I am that I did that. I have met students from all over the world, and it is nice to meet other people who are coming from very far away as well. Also, these people became my best friends here, and the orientation had value to it, such as learning the laws of England, signing up for a doctor, learning the town, and help getting a cell phone.
2. For some reason I did not get all of the paper work I should have, so I was pretty lost for the first week. Make sure you get some welcome information mail to you before hand that has information about your course. If not it can be pretty frustrating.
3. I am living in the residence halls. I'm really glad I did this because of its location to my classes, and that I met a ton of people. However the down side is that, well, it's a college dorm and people are not always clean, or quiet.
4. The most frustrating thing that I have dealt with is that I have been put in with all the freshman, taking freshman courses. This may be a personal thing, but as a senior at my University, it was tough adjusting to being at the bottom again, and not being as respected as an artist.
5. The University is near a beautiful beach, and the town is great, but it's pretty expensive to get to London, and a long bus ride. So a fair warning to students wanting to travel a lot, or even just go to London a lot, it's not a quick trip, and you might need to save up a bit before so.
6. The courses are AMAZING, I can only personally speak for Digital Media, but I can't help but be excited for all my classes and what I am doing. The course leaders are nice and everyone is helpful. So if you are looking for good courses, this is where you want to be.

Otterbein University: Study Abroad in England

Why did you decide to study abroad in England?

I decided to study in England for a couple of reasons, the main one being the language. I wanted my study abroad experience to focus on getting a new perspective on my art, and to learn more about another culture without having a language barrier. England also has a lot to offer to the contemporary art scene, I wanted to be a direct part of the new way of thinking.

What made studying in England a unique and special experience?

Nothing I could say in words could describe how studying in England has and will change my life. England in particular is this funny mix of old and new. The culture old and rich, but then at the same time the younger generation brings a modern fling to how society works. It's not like the rest of the EU at all, it's its own thing, and I believe people here like it to be known as that.

How did this experience impact your academic development?

While I am here I am learning so much about myself, others, and my medium. For myself, I now want to travel to as many places as possible. I can't get over how being here makes me crave adventure and knowledge of new places. I am also very lucky to be in my course, because I am learning a lot about digital media. I know I will be able to use my knowledge here to make me more marketable to a company I'd like to work for. I also believe that by going abroad I am way more confident, and I have a better understanding of the world around me, which will help me professionally and personally.
