Quality of life

Going to a new university comes with a lot of changes especially in a situation where one is going to school in a foreign country where you are not familiar with the culture,style and environment.In such a case there are a lot of factors that can determine the quality of life in that new environment.

There are a lot of factors or determinants both positive and negative that can affect the quality of  my life at the University of Glamorgan.These factors could determine how good or bad the quality of my life in Glamorgan would be.

FOOD:Food for me is a big factor for me and as someone who does not play with how I feed,the fact that I cannot get my local food here is a negative factor.

RACISM:Racism is a negative factor for me because it has happened to me once and I did not feel good for the rest of the week and I fear that if I ever experience it again I might break down.

COST OF LIVING:The cost of living in the UK is very high compared to what is obtainable in my country and this  could affect me negatively.I have to work part time to support myself and I think this might affect my studies.
HOMESICKNESS: The tendency to always remember loved ones and friends is always there for someone travelling abroad to school and this has happened to me quite a few times but I hope to overcome it soon.
Let's take a look at some of the positive factors

TEACHING STYLE IN SCHOOL: The style of teaching in Glamorgan  is very different from what I am used to and that is a good factor cause it will help me develop and equip me for the future.

HEALTH CARE:The quality of health care and emergency response in the UK is good and very high.This is one of the factors I think is going to affect my quality of life positively.

SECURITY:Security of life and property in  the UK is high and this is a big plus for me as a student.

In conclusion,I think that the quality of life that one lives in Glamorgan varies individually and it is a matter of what you choose to be a major factor that will determine whether things turn out good or bad.
