      What's it like to study in the UK?
      England. Some locals are friendly, but it did take time to get used to their mentality. Very different to where I come from. But after a year I warmed up to them and they warmed up to me and now i'm grateful for some wonderful friends and a second family away from home. I can't afford to travel much, but the places I've been to were lovely. Like Brighton and Cambridge.

      What's it like to study in the UK?
      If I had to describe it in just three words it would be a space that’s provides Great Collaboration, Empathy, and seeks to Challenge the possibilities. Every room that I have been in where I’m working with arts, everyone wants to help. When I get stuck in developing my idea or even just articulating my thoughts my fellow artists have been there always trying to support me. They don’t write me off because I don’t have everything cookie cutter no instead they don’t want me to be stifled. Within that comes empathy for each other’s voice and that includes the material we’re working on. Finally, with the amount of theater we’re able to see we are able to see how a theater space can be transformed! This sparks are imaginations in what a relationship on stage can be, the visual pictures, the over world for these characters.

      What's it like to study in the UK?
      I love living in the UK. The locals are a bit more reserved from what I’m used to in Canada but they’re still nice. There was very little culture shock for me moving here and I am loving all the access I have to museums, galleries and theatres. I was expecting a lot more grey sky’s and rain but was pleasantly surprised with the amount of sunshine and nice weather there is in the south. Winters in the UK are a refreshing change from the Canadian deep freeze.

      What's it like to study in the UK?
      The people are less friendly and warm compared to my own country, there's a lot of indivualism which is pretty sad. There are a lot of beautiful places to visit, especially as a young person you have a lot to do. Public transport is AMAZING but REALLYYY expensive. The knife crimes are a bit steep which it's pretty scary, it hasn't affected me yet but I've heard a lot of stories of locals that were robbed at knife point or even stabbed.
