QUALITY OF LIFE

The quality of ones life depends on their personal efforts and circumstances they are dealt with. Moving to the UK has provided me with a chance to turn my efforts into a preferable end product. Different challenges arise on a daily basis, but none is too big to overcome.

The university itself is a very modern one with some of the best facilities around. Add to that the knowledgeable teachers who are also understanding of matters outside the class room. With libraries, fast internet access, a sports centre and different places of worship, the university provides me with all the necessary tools to make my time in the UK a success. The environment also happens to be very conducive for studying as the university is located away from the city lights.

However, dealing with life in the UK can prove to be tough at times especially for international students such as myself. Adjusting to the food here is not easy and the cost of living is very high. There is also the aspect of dealing with anxiety which may be caused by bad news from back home. In addition to that, there is the most common problems almost all foreign students face which is home sickness. Missing friends and family can tend to bring you down and this could affect your academic performance. That said, it is important to always keep in touch with your family and friends.

In conclusion, I would say that the quality of life here depends on how you want to live. If you're a person who enjoys the simple things in life, you'll probably be ok. But if you're the sort of person who covets the extravagant lifestyle, you must be ready to deal with its effects.
