I am an international student from Hong Kong and study Interior Design. I was terrified before I came here and now it all seems for nothing. It’s great! Such a friendly and welcoming place I feel like I belong here and can express myself through the course. I have moved into accommodation halls on campus and made some good flat mates. I have my own double bedroom and then share a kitchen with 7 other students. The nightlife isn’t crazy but we all still have fun and like they say, its what you make it! In terms of the course, it is demanding and fast paced but I am enjoying learning new things etc. I have improved my style and skills already in four months.

I am in my second year of studying an interior design degree at Falmouth University. So far I can really say I have had an awful lot of fun both on my course and in social free time. My main advice is that as important as your degree really is you need to aim for a work and play balance because that way you get a really good degree your proud of but you also get to enjoy the location that your living in. In my free time I love to go and visit the beaches, the Gyllynvase beach plays live music in the evenings and looks out right over the beach, plus they do the best hot chocolate ever!
