Hi there,
This is Maha
and this time I would like to share with you some of the benefits of studying
abroad, in a completely new and different environment from where I grew up and
worked.
The architecture:
This is
hardly surprising, as an architecture student! But one of the best things about
going to another country to study and live for one or more years is the
wonderful architecture, beautiful in its own way and which varies greatly from
historical buildings constructed hundreds of years ago. Like the Diamond
building! The more pictures you get of a building you like, the better and more often the buildings speak for themselves. If you look at the Sir Frederick Mapping
Building (pictured), you can see it is a huge, well-maintained old building
which has its own beauty that cannot be matched with any new building of this
size because it has a traditional importance.
Meeting new people:
Moving to a
new country gives you a better understanding of the people who live there, which may be different from the image portrayed in the media. Coming to Sheffield
to study was a great experience for me because the people here are so friendly
and everybody gives you a warm and welcoming feeling. Furthermore, you get to
meet with people from all over the world and the more you talk to them, the
more you learn about their cultures. This will improve your communication
skills and most importantly how to respect each other’s points of view.
Travelling:
When you get your
student visa, you get the chance to explore your new home, such as famous
places like London, Edinburgh, the Peak District etc. This gives you a better understanding
of the culture and other traditions, particularly new styles of food and
cooking!
Studying
abroad has many benefits that help you develop more as a person. I hope you
will consider this too!
