ne of the most important things to us is your feedback. Not just on our events, or our classes, but in general. We want to know what you are are up too. We want to see where you go and what exciting locations you are ticking off, regardless of whether you are in London or elsewhere in the UK.

A number of our students have created their own blogs. Some have been blogging for a long time, others have started because of their study abroad experience. It's a great way to keep everybody up to date and to share ideas.

Below, we feature two blogs that have caught our eye. Each showcases a very different appeal for studying abroad in the UK. Feel inspired!

Emilee Klein - Swansea University

'So first off the wonderful city of Bath. Now for those who haven't heard about it, it’s a smaller English city but where it is unique is the Roman Bath that sits in the center of it. That’s right there is a legitimate Roman style bath in the middle of what looks like a quaint English town. This bath comes from a time when Rome invaded England and then decided they would like a little bit of home comfort and the fact that there was a natural hot spring by this town made it all the easier.  Seeing this was cool but the neatest part I thought was the fact that right next the roman architecture complete with Ionic columns was a beautiful renaissance Gothic style cathedral. It beautifully showed some of my favorite architecture all together in one place.'

Emilee talks about her self organised trip to Bath on her blog.

Shelley Dehekker - City University

'He was very laid-back and kind and I was so impressed by how willing he was to greet fans. I wish I'd been a little more coherent to tell him something slightly more expressive of how much his talents have meant to me over the years, but all the same...I'm sure my speechlessness more than conveyed it.

I told myself upon coming here that I didn't want to leave without meeting at least ONE British celebrity. I always dreamed it'd be one of the Golden Trio (they're definitely top tier when it comes to people I'd die to meet), but I would never in a million years have guessed it would actually happen.

In this case, mischief managed.'

Shelley talks about the moment that she met Rupert Grint.
