Studying abroad has always been a dream of mine, fueled by a desire to immerse myself in new cultures and experiences. When I didn't secure admission to a Canadian university, my husband introduced me to the idea of studying in the UK through Across the Pond. Little did I know, this decision would lead to an experience of a lifetime.
Initially drawn to Scotland, my interview with Brunel University convinced me otherwise. Located in London, UK, Brunel offered the perfect blend of academic excellence and vibrant student life. The convenience of its location and the provision of individual tutors for each student stood out to me. Moreover, the opportunity to learn from professors who were experts in their fields, like the tendinopathy lecture taught by a renowned researcher, was truly appealing. The presence of a significant Canadian student community also made me feel at home.
I opted to stay off-campus, just a short walk away from Brunel. Living with two fellow Canadian PT students forged strong friendships and added to the sense of community. Brunel's dedication to student experience was evident through its myriad of clubs and activities. I particularly enjoyed being part of the weightlifting and CrossFit team, where I had access to top-notch facilities and learned from experienced athletes.
Enrolled in the Master of Science in Physiotherapy program, I appreciated Brunel's evidence-based approach and emphasis on practical learning. The availability of pre-recorded lectures allowed for flexible learning, with class time focused on hands-on experiences and consolidating knowledge.
Although Uxbridge wasn't the most exciting city, its proximity to Heathrow Airport and easy access to central London made it convenient. I often found myself exploring the vibrant heart of London or venturing to areas like Ealing, Camden, and Covent Gardens became a regular part of my routine, with the opportunity to visit a new country every month—a perk I cherished.
Beyond academics, I embarked on a placement with a professional rugby team, which provided invaluable real-world experience. Weekends were filled with adventures and cultural exploration, fostering friendships with people from diverse backgrounds.
Reflecting on my time in the UK, I am grateful for the support of Across the Pond throughout the application process. Despite the challenges and expenses, studying abroad was undoubtedly worth it. The experience broadened my horizons, enriched my academic journey, and provided memories that will last a lifetime. For anyone considering studying abroad, I wholeheartedly encourage it—it's an opportunity of a lifetime.
