Hello everyone, this is Betül.
I was asked to take part in the online blogging & was more than happy to write to the website every month. Likewise, I hope you’ll be happy to read my writings.
Let me make a start by telling you all a bit about myself.
I come from Turkey and back then, I was second year Business Management but then I decided that I needed a dramatic change in my life. So I decided to resume my education in England – precisely in Lancaster University. I am currently in the foundation year of Law and Social Studies. I didn’t just “decide” and it happened. Applying this decision was as hard as taking it but then I had a go & here I am.
This is a very new experience for me; it’s the first time I sail for new horizons, alone.
When studying in Turkey, I lived in a house but now I live on campus. Living on campus is pretty enjoyable. It’s a good way to experience college life, teaches you to be more responsible as you are alone, increases social life & accessibility to the school is easier.
Though, it was quiet hard at the beginning – but then, nothing is a piece of cake from the very start.
When one is in an environment he’s never been to before, it’s a good idea to mingle with people and participate in social events. For instance last Friday, a group of us went to Morecambe. Despite the dullness of the weather, I enjoyed the sea and the atmosphere as a whole. Some of us went bowling while the rest of us played a Laser Quest. To sum up, it was a pleasant change.
All in all, it’s a very good environment for studying or living. You’re not isolated from town, which is around ten minutes away.
They say first impressions last, mine surely did.
