Arriving in Lancaster, England
As the plane touched down in Manchester, a range of emotions swept over me. Leaving behind the familiar places and feelings of New Zealand was a struggle for me, with a lot of homesickness settling in as I realised how far away I was from my family and friends. However, the excitement of exploring a new culture was there too. Continue reading Arriving in Lancaster, England

The people here are all very kind and welcoming even though some may be hard to understand with the broad Scottish accent. Continue reading Student Life at Strathclyde
