Emily – Bath Spa University, England<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Semester 2 2019
\n<\/strong>Bachelor of Creative Industries\/ Bachelor of Business<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Before I left, people would ask me \u201care you excited?\u201d and as much as I had planned and saved to go on exchange, I was quite anxious about getting to Bath. Would my room be nice? How many roommates would I have? Would I like my roommates? Would I like my units?<\/p>\n

The moment I arrived at my accommodation, the exchange became the adventure it was meant to be.<\/p>\n

Living<\/strong><\/h4>\n

I went on exchange to Bath Spa University in Bath, England. The student accommodation I stayed at was chosen by the University as international students were allocated together and I was at Green Park House. You could not have asked for a better location; it was right in the middle of Bath city and was a 5-minute walk to the main street and shops. There were a few small clubs in the city all within walking distance. There was a grocery store just across the road and the bus stop to the Newton Park Campus around the corner.<\/p>\n

The room was nice with an interestingly bright green feature wall. It had decent storage and bathroom. I had never experienced living in student accommodation before so moving in with eleven other strangers was new. We all got along well together and I formed a smaller group of friends within the flat who made my exchange 100 times easier, funnier, and just better in every way.<\/p>\n
