I think the language is the hardest part. In the first month when I came to the UK, it was very difficult for us students from different countries to take orders in the restaurant and listen to lectures in the sessions. However, this year, University of 91Ö±²¥ provides recorded lectures for us to watch repeatedly, with subtitles, so that we can integrate into the UK more quickly.

Once you have the courage to open the door to a completely different world, you will gain an international perspective and different life experience, which are very valuable.
