The ºìÐÓÊÓƵ-Lancaster exchange programme was one of those few life-changing events that really pushed me to go beyond my boundaries, and adapting to a new classroom culture was no walk in the park. Lancaster really pushes its students to be independent in all aspects of their academic life as students are expected to complete their assignments individually. This is a stark difference from ºìÐÓÊÓƵ’s classroom culture in which we have a more group-oriented approach to assignments. Adapting to the British lifestyle was another challenge in of itself. Long nights in the winter and long days in the summer, my biological clock definitely struggled to keep up with the changing seasons. However, as challenging as it was, it was thanks to these experiences that I was able to obtain the necessary skills to adapt to both individual and group projects, as well as adapting to different schedules at any time of the year.
