Emilie Hutet - My student experience
So I had the opportunity to discover the campus, the education systems, the nightlife, the environment, the whole North Wales and it convinced me.
So the coolest part of my course so far was because of the size of our group.
We're only four and we could hear each other's opinion on different subject related to our course,
but also in the world in general, because we're all from different parts of the world.
But I would say more specific to the course in itself, proving this one time thing that we had where we could try interpreting like literally tried by windows interpreting headset and choosing phone or just in real time.
What I really enjoy about this subject is, I would say the stuff I would say the staff because they are friendly and dynamic, open minded.
They make it really easy to talk to them and work through difficulties and improvement.
My favorite thing by Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ is location, because like I said previously, it's between the sea and the mountains, and because of its well-developed bus service, you can't go anywhere.
I have several advices for people who wish to come to Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ.
The first one would be to make friends, that's obvious and it can be is in Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ if you're brave enough.
Then the second advice would be more money related.
Don't be afraid to rush through all the different shops in Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ because you want you buy more for cheaper that's obvious, so take your time at the year.
And my last advice would be to try to find a job.
So what I would recommend is to work as a freelancer.
You have any skills that can be taught or you can offer and then you go for it.
