A survey of the real life of studying in Britain.

Recently, the number of international students studying in Britain is on the rise. So, what kind of experience is it to study in the UK? Let's talk about the real life of studying in Britain.

The devaluation of the British pound and the approach of Britain's withdrawal from the European Union have prompted international students to step up their application to British universities. And British Prime Minister Teresa? Mei also made concessions on the previous policy of strictly controlling the number of international students. These good news are conducive to the successful application of international students to British universities.

Especially for international students, what knowledge can you gain from studying in British universities? To this end, the British "Guardian" specially interviewed some university faculty and students to see what they said.

1, autonomous learning and working ability

Professor Thain Hand of Warwick University said, "British universities emphasize the cultivation of students' autonomous learning ability and work ability". An Indian student studying at the University of Sheffield said that the grading system in British schools is also different. "It seems almost impossible to get full marks. Basically, if I score 50 points, it is equivalent to 70 points in Indian schools. "

2. Community activities are rich and colorful.

On the British campus, it is obvious that there are various student unions and societies, and many activities actually reflect the British lifestyle and spiritual realm to a certain extent. Shockingly, many school activities sound very confusing. For example, Cambridge University will have a party for boring people, and Bath University will have a curry appreciation club. Indian college students in Sheffield told reporters, "Some activities are like this. Everyone is running around with a broom and wearing yellow clothes, and then someone will come to' catch us'. It looks boring, but everyone is very passionate. " A college student from Manchester said: "The best advice is to find differences and try more differences bravely."

3. Action school

On the British campus, you may see many debates and community activities, which may revolve around different themes, such as how to deal with sexual harassment on campus and how to help the poor. University is the largest cultural discussion center in Britain, so join it actively.

4, wine! Wine! Wine!

Lim, a classmate from Malaysia, said that she found British students very "intoxicated" with alcohol. "I often see many students drinking in the street in winter." These made many foreign students once have a bad impression on British students. "I have always fantasized that everyone behaves gracefully, dresses appropriately and discusses various social and cultural phenomena, but a class reunion completely fascinates me." With the rising tuition fees, according to media observation, fewer and fewer students go to bars to drink now, and they even want to give up drinking. So, anything is possible, and everything can change.

5. There are many international students.

Richard, director of admissions at Manchester University, said that there are many kinds of students in British universities, and students come from all over the world. "So, don't be shy, don't be afraid. Everyone around you is very friendly. Make more friends and don't be shy."

6. Enjoy life outside campus

Many times, it is very important to go out of the campus and see what Britain is like. Sharma, a student from Sheffield, said that she likes to visit Pique District. "I like the feeling of this vast world, and there are many animals. It's really like being in heaven. I often stay quietly and listen to the wind whistling. "

7. Risk of policy change

Although Britain is accelerating the pace of Britain's withdrawal from the EU, and although Britain's withdrawal from the EU will bring a series of policy "variables", British universities say that international students should really pay close attention to some changes brought about by Britain's withdrawal from the EU, but don't panic and worry. International students are always welcome in Britain. International students should not listen to some anti-immigration and international students' reports. The attitude of the British people towards international students is also welcome and positive.
