“An Unforgettable Experience” by Eva Bukaiova from Comenius University, Bratislava
Only while travelling do you find yourself. Countless travel blogs and motivational quotes tease us with the romantic idea of finding one’s true self while being away from home. After a wonderful semester at UEA, I can truly say: leaving your comfort zone to get to know a different part of the world does confront…
“My life has changed because of UEA and studying abroad.” Talya from Goucher College, Maryland.
It’s hard to believe that I was at the University of East Anglia one year ago. It’s hard because at times it seems like I could wake up and still feel what it is like to be there, and at times it feels like a whole other lifetime ago. More often, however, it just seems…
Friendship, UEA, and Cups of Tea by Canadian Exchange Student, Gordon So
“Would you like a cup of tea?” She asked. That was about the most British way of greeting people, I thought. “Yes, please,” I gladly accepted her offer. And it was this brief encounter that marked the start of my exchange at UEA, in January 2016. The day before this, I landed at Norwich Airport,…

Hi, my name is Saki Shimada. I’m from Japan and studied at UEA for two semesters last year in the School of Biological Sciences. My university in Japan did not have any exchange programs with UEA and I did not know anybody there, so I could not imagine what my life at UEA would be like….

‘Going to UEA and living abroad was the best idea I ever had…’ Charlotte, Erasmus student from Lyon, France
When I arrived in UEA, I was an Erasmus student, studying Law. I came from Universite Jean-Moulin Lyon 3 Lyon, France in my fourth year. Not a lot of people chose to leave for another country during their Law study. I decided to live abroad because I did not know where I was in my life…

“Make the most of your time abroad: travel, talk, make memories and study.” Michelle at La Trobe University, Australia.
Leaving the UK was an extremely surreal experience and I never realised how sad it could be to say goodbye to those I love at home. The plane journey itself was long, but if you are a pro-napper like myself it isn’t long enough. Landing was interesting, we stopped at Brunei where I met a…
“Go to UEA, you won’t regret it.” Elena, Complutense University of Madrid, Spain.
My experience at UEA was so much better than I predicted. I’ve always wanted to study in an English university, but it’s so expensive that I never thought my dream would come true, but it did, and I’m so glad I went! UEA is, from my point of view, the best university in the world!…
