UEA International Student Ambassadors

I do not understand where three years have flown by. The oft-quoted phrase that ‘time flies when having fun’ seems to ring very true. I am genuinely going to miss UEA and Norwich. As an international student from India I was looking for a place to understand England, learn, live and grow as a person. UEA provided the perfect combination. The University and the city of Norwich gave me a safe and diverse platform to expand my personality and try out new things. My favourite memories from UEA are around the new and shared experiences I have had with a truly international student community. Salsa dancing, a 60 mile cycling trip, Sushi making, Bhangra, hand making Italian pizzas, wine tasting by the lake etc have all been really small but nonetheless new and fun experience for me. These small but altogether very important experiences not only broaden one’s horizons but also give you some distance and reflective space towards one’s own culture. Being an Indian student in the UK, I tried to a

Hi UEA lads... We are joint 8th in People and Planet league, a great improvement on previous years. See Guardian: http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/datablog/2011/jun/07/university-green-league-nottingham-trent-environment . To be honest, I am quite happy to be surrounded by nature and green environment while I am studying. Especially for a great day walk around the lake. Enjoy your surrounding while you are here and take a walking route in the forest at the back of the lake can be an amusing small adventure.

Hi UEA... I proudly announce that our university is ranked 18th from 19th last year by the Guardian.co.uk. Check this link out... http://www.guardian.co.uk/education/table/2011/may/17/university-league-table-2012 It is good news for us the students and the staffs. In general we are above some prominent universities, like Birmingham, Newcastle, King’s College London, and Manchester. With higher rank, hopefully the university also is able to make the UEA grads be more competitive in the market. As we the international students hope for. Let's race to the top.

Hi again Travellers, Following my suggestion on some top edgy destinations in the first post, I will provide you with five more options, which are selected from other regions in the UK. So far, we have covered the Northwest, South of Mainland, North East, and Scotland and Northern Ireland. This posting will highlight Wales, Midland, London, South east, and South west. The Brecon Beacons National Park (Wales) This popular walk takes you past Sgŵd Clun-gwyn (White Meadow Fall), where the river crashes fifty feet over two huge, angular steps of rock before hurtling down to Sgŵd Isaf Clun-gwyn (Lower White Meadow Fall) and Sgwd y Pannwr (Fall of the Fuller). The walk's climax is the Sgwd Y Eira (Fall of Snow), whose rock behind the main tumble has eroded back six feet, allowing you to walk directly behind a dramatic twenty foot curtain of water.
