In my year I have friends from Brunei, Norway, Romania, Japan . In turn, people ask me about the German election system. I particularly enjoyed a group project we did on China. We learned about organising material for a presentation, and a friend showed me how to use Powerpoint. I have been invited to give a presentation about Peace Studies in Germany this summer, and will be using a lot of the techniques I learned then.
Teaching is concentrated in the first half of the week.
I like this, as I can concentrate on essays or assignments on Fridays, and even Thursdays, without interruption. I like the atmosphere then. I have joined the famous Peace Studies Football Team. We are not so strong this year, but it is still a good way to mix with students in the years above you, postgraduates, PhD students. My first year I spent in University Hall.
