In Eastern Europe, we are used to a system where professors are "on a higher level" than students. In the UK, the hierarchy is pretty much flat, which helps to remove some of the tension.

-yards instead of meters
-miles instead of kilometres
-pounds instead of euros
-time zone is -1
-time and date forms is also different

In my hall, despite it being dedicated to postgraduate student, I could hear a lot of noise of my flatmates. This was especially disturbing when I was approaching some important deadline as it was so hard to concentrate. I heard next year they will have some dedicated part for students who want to live in quiter environment.

# data[].attributes.body
Very weird challenges are given to students who want to be in a comitee. They don't seem to have anything to do with the position you candidate (eating eggs, swimming in dirty pool)

They asked me a lot of times if I'm lost if I was standing and looking at my phone for longer time. It was nice

# data[].attributes.body
