Accommodation and traffic facilities are also convenient, offering an attractive environment to me as an international student.

Do you have any stories about your time in Southampton or a happy memory you want to share?

I went on a few away trips with the hiking society from student union, and it is one of my personal favourite ways to travel around when the land is unfamiliar. I started to realise that Southampton is conveniently located for access to many attractions in UK, and I will never forget the shooting stars over the crystal clear night sky when we were camping out near Brecon Beacons in Wales.

我多次参加过由学校远足社团举行的旅行。在英国旅行往往会有人生地不熟的挑战,而社团里面有专业的英国成员做向导,出行路程都由他们精心规划,给自己省去不少麻烦。南安普顿地理位置便利,从城市出发很快就能到达英国的许多著名景点。有一次在威尔士高峰Brecon Beacons山脚下露营,与朋友们一起喝啤酒吃烧烤,边聊天边看着流星划过纯净的夜空,令我难以忘怀。

Is there anything else you would like to say?

There is so much to experience in Southampton, and the university has a very friendly environment for international students. All you need to do is to open up and look out for the opportunities. Always be prepared and be willing to explore.

南安是体验英国文化的一个国际平台,只要你勇于发现,乐于尝试,就一定能获得属于自己的独特体验。
