Answer 1

Explanation:

To dear friend,

I first visited the UK on a vacation as a curious and impressionable 15-year-old in 2013. The rich culture of London, the beautiful highlands of Scotland and the sunny beaches of Wales fascinated me. Having lived most of my life in the South Asian subcontinent and the Middle East, I was enthralled by the liberal ways of British life. I decided then that I wanted to pursue my university education in the UK.

Fast forward to 2016 and I arrived in Bristol – a small, colourful and rich city that I knew very little about. I had gathered a lot of information about the University of Bristol – my course, the modules, the professors, the different clubs and societies – but nothing could have prepared me for what was to come.

The first couple of weeks were great. I met new people every day, visited landmarks, explored the posh neighbourhood of Clifton, and went to several welcome week events. Staying in catered university accommodation also helped me to make several international friends and form my own community.

But I had not realised that the changes that came with moving to a new country were not just physical, but mental too.
