• Hello, Everything is going just fine on my side, I have to say that so far my studying at Huddersfield is working out great, I am very happy to have the opportunity to be here. The classes are mostly very interesting, and the tutors know how to catch attention. All in all, I am very content. All the effort was certainly worth it. As for a word of comment for people who might be keen on the idea of studying in Britain - it is something absolutely mind-opening and different than studying in Poland. A lot depends on a person's individual attitude to their education, and is utterly helpful in developing independent thinking and analysis of a subject. Or in other words - one practices thinking. If one is looking for an opportunity to broaden their horizons to a great extent, then studying in Britain is just the right way to achieve it. Once again, I am very glad to be here. And once again I'd like to express my gratitude for Your assistance in making all of this happen. I hope everything is going just fine for You as well. Best Regards, Dominik (University of Rzeszow, Poland)
