Christabel from Ghana
"The style of teaching at the International Study Centre has helped me in so many ways. They taught me basic stuff in English that I didn’t know I would need, like plagiarism and how to write essays in a university style, which is really important."

"What I like about the campus is there are a lot of facilities here. The Crosslands bar is a nice place to sit and have a dinner or lunch and there’s the Hub dining hall. There are so many places you can sit. I know this sounds weird, but my favourite thing is the decoration, you have pictures in every corner of the place."

“With Study Group, I felt very supported by everyone. It was a smaller group than Royal Holloway, so you get a lot of support, and they answer very fast, and everything's very good. I felt very supported last year.”
