2018大三出國輔導通報系統 - 留學心得報告[編輯]
觀光B 405860064  施宜萱  留學學校:牛津布魯克斯大學(英國)

(一)基本資料

The school I choose for my study aboard is Oxford Brookes University. It is located in Oxford, UK. Oxford is definitely a beautiful city, it's really suitable for study. Also, Oxford is one of the most famous cities in UK, I feel so lucky that I can study aboard here. As I am a study aboard student, I can choose any course I like to. It's actually really good for us since we probably not just only want to choose the course all just relative to tourism. (87字)

(二)課程學習

【照片說明:Festival and Cultural events management 】

To be honest, the courses I choose in Brookes are actually pretty fun. But if I have to choose one of my favourites, I would say is Festival and Cultural events management. This was the course I have in second semesters. The classroom is the biggest I have been in Brookes. The professor is so nice, she is not only just having a lecture, but also will interact with us. My favourite part of this course was, the professor asked every student to go to Starbucks ( our school have to Starbucks in Headington Campus which is the campus we have course), and to observe the customers, clerks, and anything we would love to observe. We stood outside Starbucks for about 20 minutes and then went back to the classroom to have the presentation. The second reason I love this class is that the final assignment is about writing a 3000 words essay about the festival or event you attend. In order to finish that essay, I went to London to participate in the festival which name is St. Partick's Festival. It is not only in the UK but also all around the world. Which was a really unforgettable memory because it was the first festival I have attended in my entire life. And the third reason was that the professor is so sweet, she cares about every student in the class including international students. One day she asked me "Where are you from?" And I said " Taiwan!" Then she said " Wow! Is my speaking speed in class is too fast? If it's too fast you can just tell me I will slow it down." That is really sweet to me. The last but not the least I like this course was because the professor invited a different professor from another university. It was a really good experience because we didn't have some chance to go to another university to have a class. (320字)

(三)生活環境

【照片說明:Harcourt Hill Campus 】

Our school have three campuses, Headington Campus is the main campus and the accommodation I lived in is Harcourt Hill Campus. The name of my accommodation is Westminster Hall. I would like to say the good things about Westminster Hall first. It's in the quiet campus, we have our own bathroom and the kitchen for our flat is really big. We have a chapel in Harcourt Hill and also a really cute library, sometimes it will offer free cakes. And it is really close to Aldi( which is the cheapest supermarket), and just take about 15-20 minutes to city centre. However, it's too far away from Headington Campus it always took me about 45 minutes on the bus. Also, there is the accommodation near Headington Campus and cheaper than Westminster Hall. The weather here in England is kind of cold for me. But it always has pleasant weather, not having so much rain. Even it will rain it is just a short rain. I think everyone from Taiwan will love the weather here, it's so comfortable! And for the food, I normally just cook by myself. Because if you go outside to have a meal it will be so much expensive. I will go outside to have lunch with my friends twice a week. If you go to the restaurant it will approximately cost you 15-20 pounds. It is too expensive. And for the transportation, our school have one card called Brookes Key. When you have this card you won't have to charge the bus fare but it's just only for U1 and U5. For other buses in city, you have to pay for it. But U1 and U5 it's enough for student if you are not going anywhere particularly. (289字)

(四)自我成長

照片說明:Halloween Party

【照片說明:Halloween Party 】

It is really lucky that the people I met in Oxford are nice and so friendly. How to overcome some challenges in our life? I will answer it through life and in class. Firstly, life. I have three British flatmates, one Italian flatmate and one Indian flatmate. First of all, is the food difference. I have noticed that the things I eat are really different from my flatmates. For example, one day, when I was trying to fry the ham, one of my flatmates was so shock and said," Did you just fry the ham?" And then I said, " Yes because we all it like this in Taiwan." And another thing was, " Wow, you used everything with chopsticks. ”, said one of my flatmates. It just a funny story that I found my lifestyle is so different from all my flatmates. It's fine all of the flatmates will respect your lifestyle since they all know everyone has a different cultural background. And for class, just don't be shy to ask professors questions, they are all really willing to help you. Or even we can ask questions to our classmates, everyone is really happy to help you. All we have to do is just ask. The biggest cultural shock for me would probably be food cultural difference. Because roughly the food in Western is cold, such as sandwiches. But we all grow up to eat rice. It is not used for me to eat sandwiches all day. But it is not actually a big deal because every city have Chinese reasturants.(259字)

(五)大三出國建議

For the students who want to go to Oxford Brookes University next year, I will love to say just be brave! Since I know Oxford Brookes is not a popular school to go to study aboard but don't be afraid, it is not really a big deal to be along. However, just because of this, you have a chance to know other friends from different countries, and you can do anything you like. Before I came to Oxford, I was really worried about my English is not good enough. But when I really came here, I found that everyone will know you are a foreigner and they will have lots of patients to help you. And Oxford is a really international city, it has so many different people from all over the world. And also, it's pretty close to London, it just only takes 1 hour by coach to go to London. You can go to London as many times as you would like to. And for the student likes to travel, UK is a really good country to study aboard, all of the cities are really different from Taiwan. You can also easily travel to different countries in Europe. In Oxford Brookes University you will probably not having class everyday so you can choose to travel around or do something else you would like to do. For me, I choose to find a part time just as being a childcare nanny to teach them Chinese and play with them. Which was the most cherished memory I have in UK. (259字)

(六)其他

The most unforgettable memory was one of my flatmates invited me to go to her home, and I stayed over for one night. Her home is located in Derby which is about two hours to get there by train. Her family was so nice to me even prepare the Chinese dishes for me as dinner. The house is really different from Taiwan, they have their own garden.And when I was leaving, they gave me the sandwiches made by themselves for me to have it on train. (87字)
