A British Council collaboration, sitting through the edit on this project, it hit me – this was exactly what I needed as a young lad going to a different country altogether to live and study, how I wished I was well prepped for my stay in the UK, visiting on holiday is one thing, living and studying overseas is a different experience altogether.
The complexities of settling into a different culture / environment can be nerve wracking just as the dynamics of building lasting relationships with people from other cultures can be a little tricky.
For most part unlearning certain things and keeping an open mind helped me a great deal, not just in living each day as it comes but allowed me to a large extent make good use of the opportunities I was presented with, studying in the UK is a totally different experience in comparison to studying here in Nigeria, these respondents attest to that fact.
The folks at British Council are far too kind in putting this together, a panel of known celebrities; OAP, musician and entrepreneurs were put together not just to talk about their stay in the UK but also to share some of their encounters and experiences as a result of their stay. They took time to cover a number of subjects from international collaborations, racism, culture shock and learning to the impact and benefits of their study in the UK. It’s definitely a must watch for prospective students or anyone trying to settle abroad.
It's important to also mention that with the prevalent economy situation you're indeed lucky to be sponsored by your wards or parent, make the best use of the opportunity, its not a convenient time in history to be having extra years or prolonged study period, you'll do well to apply yourself and focus, have fun but don't get distracted.

Once again big thanks to folks at TBWA Concept for bringing us in on this one.
