When I got an offer from Birmingham, I was really thrilled. I also knew someone who had studied at Birmingham and loved it. She told me all about the University and the city and how much she had enjoyed herself. When I first saw the campus, I thought it was absolutely wonderful. Like most new students I stayed in hall for my first year - Chamberlain Hall on the Vale.
All undergraduates can stay in hall in their first year if they want to.
I am living with three British students in a flat now. I went on the induction course. It was really fabulous. The welcome team were very, very welcoming. By the time the other students came, I knew the place perfectly.
