I first found out at the University of Warwick from my home institution in Finland. I wanted undertake an Erasmus year within the UK and considered a few other institutions such as Glasgow University. I eventually chose Warwick because of the central location and the great range of courses that are available. I began my research on the university’s website, which contained lots of really useful information. I arrived at the university for the Orientation programme which I really enjoyed. I found the programme really helped me to meet people from many different backgrounds. On arrival at Warwick, I couldn’t believe how big the campus was. It was really modern but with lots of greenery too. I think that the best thing about being at Warwick is how nice and friendly the people are. There is a really nice feeling about my stay here. Also life at Warwick is always interesting, as there are lots of activities going on. Since joining Warwick I have joined the snow society, the climbing club and the Erasmus society, all of which have given me an opportunity to travel to different places within the UK such as Edinburgh and the Peak District. When I graduate from my degree I hope to continue my studies by taking a Masters course and maybe even a PhD. I am thoroughly enjoying my time at Warwick and would recommend the university to other students as there is a really nice international vibe here.
