From September 2007 till May 2008 I was studying at University of Central Lancashire in Preston, UK. It was a really good and successful time I had there and I try to summarize this time with a “Best of UK” post.<\/p>\n

1. Graduation \/ Hat \/ Gown<\/strong><\/p>\n

For graduation we had do wear the traditional gown what was a bit uncomfortable but all in all it spread nice emotions togehter with the celebration week =)<\/p>\n

2. Leighton Hall<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is great to live together with other students under the same roof on the campus. It supported socializing \"\"<\/a>very well together with our International Society and the Snowboarding Team Membership. The rooms in Leighton Hall<\/a> were small but we had a big kitchen where we had some nice parties.<\/p>\n

3. Oxford <\/strong><\/p>\n

Our short visit in Oxford was good because Preston can be DEpreston some times. Oxford showed us how nice\/clean British cities can be. It also supported my idea of applying for a Master<\/a> in 2009 there.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>4. 2 Water Taps<\/strong><\/p>\n

I will never be friends with the water taps in the UK – no – i HATE them. Never ever before i burnt my fingers several times a day. My British friends don’t even know where the problem is and that there is something else around =)<\/p>\n

5. Final Degree Project<\/strong><\/p>\n

Very succuessful as the CISCO Award<\/a> shows =)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>6. Val Thorens<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of course that is not in the UK but that’s where this funny snowboarding trip started =) The uclan snowboarding team invited us to come with them on a one week trip there. So we brought our snowboards and had a nice week – wait – sounds easier than it was. Bring snowboard by car to Vienna Airport after XMas in AT – airplane to Manchester – Train to Preston – Bus to Dover – Ferry to Calais – Bus to Val Thoren (24 hours) and back. But it was worth it – it is one of the nicest and biggest skiing ressorts i have ever seen. Perfect weather – cool parties.<\/p>\n

So that’s just a little summary of my experiences – all in all, I recommend going abroad for studying to anyone.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
