This made me feel a lot better about my decision, knowing I would have the support I needed.
These opportunities are not to be taken for granted even if they are wrapped in the format of a graded piece of coursework.
I would like to go on to be a welfare/behaviour consultant or director at a zoo.
I know I have made life-long friendships here and that is something I am extremely grateful for.
Make the most of your time. Go to the pubs, go to the clubs, enjoy living in a new place. If you’re from the US, take advantage of the cheap flights to Europe!
