What I would highlight: Norwich, a small quaint town but it has so much to offer. The university is located 15 minutes by bus away from town, not too far away if you need to do some shopping! I lived on campus at the University Village, a 8 minute walk from central campus, it's an ensuite and cosy for one. Now, let's talk more about classes. It's currently my second month here at UEA and I can say that I'm enjoying everything. The lecturers here are interactive yet interesting, your tutor is the best go-to person to go to when you face any sort of difficulty and everyone around you makes you feel at home. For my course in particular, every week there'll be a seminar by a field expert to give a seminar about a topic, it provides really good insights to what is happening to the outside world at this very moment. All in all, UEA has met all my expectations and there's no regret to this decision. If you do have any question, on certain aspect of university life, please do drop me an email and I'll be happy to provide you with my opinion!
What could be improved: Everything good.
