Meet Your Ambassador Monday

Image
The UEA international office is working on rebranding and strengthening our social media presence. The individual country pages on Facebook are seeing more posts than before trying to keep prospective students in the loop with everything exciting that is going on at UEA and around campus! Currently we have just launched an Instagram campaign that will allow you to get to know the International Student Ambassadors. Every Monday, starting this past Monday, a new ambassador will be introduced to you. We're hoping this will allow you to put a face to a name, but also provide you with a more genuine connection when you are in contact with our student ambassadors leading up to your arrival as well as the duration of your degree. We are always acting as friendly faces, and will be able to answer any questions you have to the best of our abilities. Head on over to our Instagram (@uea_international), and stay tuned for all the introductions to come!

Jamie Oliver in his cooking tv shows says it all the time after tasting it. He usually says "Mmmm...happy days!". Sounds silly and cute! via GIPHY ...to be honest British are famous for being polite all the time. So they use this expression to find a safe window to share their thoughts. The thing is that they use it a lot! It sounds like they are not honest
