When I First arrived it was about midnight and there was a snow storm, we landed on snow and everything was white and crisp. I was excited but also thought that I was rather under prepared. With not only a little knowledge of ceramics, no knowledge of the language and defiantly the wrong shoes! However the next morning this feeling deepened as i woke up at 8 in the hotel to go move in to halls and it was still dark. But all the snow had melted and turned to ice! i got to Fantoft which are student halls for around 2000 international students and was a bit lost at first in a sea of concrete. After about 2 hours a German girl called Inga came and found me in reception and gave me my key. I moved in to my almost chalet like flat. I was to share with Stacy a girl doing textiles at Manchester, who i would have to pass keys on too at about 5. There is loads of storage space in the flat but no oven in the small kitchen!

In the bedroon there is a long wooden bench that folds out to become a spare bed!
