Lots of different interesting activities and very nice people here, the school is close to the city center and the course support is relatively excellent, but the nightlife in the city is sometimes boring.

Most of it is classroom-based learning, with one or more teachers taking care of lectures and tutorials, and there is a weekly online SAIL QUIZ (Score As I Learn)depending on the content, which is better for regular review of learning. Some courses may have blended learning, i.e. attending lectures online and tutorials or labs on campus. The earliest class is at 9 a.m. and the latest is usually until the end of the evening at 5 p.m. The teachers are friendly and can be pleasant to talk to and relate to.

**Best:** I had always dreamed of studying abroad, so when I got accepted into a prestigious university in UK, I was over the moon. I packed my bags and boarded the plane, ready for a new adventure. I arrived at the campus and was greeted by friendly staff and students, who helped me settle in and showed me around. I was amazed by the diversity and vibrancy of the city, and the rich academic and cultural opportunities that awaited me. I made friends from all over the world, joined various clubs and societies, and explored the sights and sounds of Huddersfield. I also enjoyed my courses, which challenged me to think critically and creatively, and gave me valuable skills and knowledge. I felt like I was living my best life, and I was grateful for every moment. **Worst:** Everything changed when the pandemic hit. The university announced that all classes would be moved online, and that we had to stay in our dorms or return to our home countries. I decided to stay, hoping that things would get better soon. But they didn't. The lockdowns and restrictions lasted for months, and I felt isolated and depressed. I missed my family and friends, and the freedom and joy of travelling and exploring. I struggled to keep up with my studies, which seemed pointless and boring. I felt like I had wasted my time and money, and that I had lost my purpose and passion. I regretted ever coming to UK, and I wished I could go back to my old life.

**Best:** I had always been fascinated by engineering, so when I got admitted into a top-ranked engineering school, I was thrilled. I was eager to learn from the best professors and peers, and to work on cutting-edge projects and research. I enrolled in a variety of courses, ranging from mechanical, electrical, civil, to computer engineering, and I loved them all. I was impressed by the practical and hands-on approach of the curriculum, which allowed me to apply my theoretical knowledge to real-world problems. I also participated in several competitions and hackathons, where I collaborated with other talented and passionate students, and created innovative solutions and prototypes. I felt like I was fulfilling my potential, and I was proud of my achievements. **Worst:** I soon realized that engineering was not as easy as I thought. The courses were extremely demanding and rigorous, and I had to spend countless hours studying, doing assignments, and preparing for exams. I barely had any time for myself, let alone for socializing or hobbies. I felt overwhelmed and stressed, and I started to lose interest and motivation. I also felt inadequate and inferior, as I compared myself to other students who seemed to be smarter and more successful than me. I doubted my abilities and choices, and I wondered if I had made a mistake by choosing engineering. I felt like I was drowning, and I wanted to give up.
