Definitely, two of the best years of my life. It's a new chapter, and I've had a lot of new experiences and met some great people.

I liked the academic side but not so much the social side since I don't like partying and none of the societies really appeal to me.

University will always be a whole new lifestyle, and I know many who've struggled with that - but none of those went to UEA.

Norwich
The Atlantic Ocean does not mark a barrier when it comes to literary traffic. In fact, it is impossible to understand British Literature in the modern period, or American Literature in any period, without knowing something of the neighbouring nation's culture.
At UEA you’ll be able to focus on Anglo-American interchanges, while also exploring the many aspects of English and American literature which lie beyond it: English Literature prior to the 19th century, and aspects of American Literature, such as Native and Chicano writing.
Under the tuition of our world-leading scholars of English and American literature, culture and history, you will study the wealth of English literature, reaching back to Chaucer, Julian of Norwich and beyond, and forwards to the likes of Kazuo Ishiguro, Ian McEwan and Ali Smith, alongside writers as different from one another as Walt Whitman and Sylvia Plath, Brett Easton Ellis and Edith Wharton.
