The shock I felt when I opened the scholarship email was overwhelming! It is due to the scholarship that I am even able to attend university.

I told my mother of the scholarship first and burst into tears! Happy tears!

I applied for the university, scholarship and visa online so it was a relatively simple process; though I did contact the university for assistance from time to time.

From the minute I arrived at Senate House to get my key I was helped by a second year and another fresher. They went on to cook me dinner that night and make me feel very much at home.
