Guide to life in the UK

What do international students think of life in the UK?.....








New2UK? Welcome!

Life in Britain may seem very different. Perhaps you are already missing your family and friends. Perhaps you are finding British culture unfamiliar and sometimes puzzling.

We hope this guide will help you learn a little more about the way of life here. Many of the habits or actions of British people may seem strange in comparison to your culture. This guide has been put together to help you understand British people a little better!

We will not be able to cover every aspect, so please contact us if you need any further assistance, we will be very pleased to help.

Who put the Guide together?

This guide has been put together by a charity called Friends International. It is a UK-based organisation made up of people who wish to offer friendship to international students when they come to stay in Britain. We try to help international students settle into their new life in university or college.

Friends International is a Christian organisation that helps students of all faiths, or no faith, during their stay in the UK. Our services and friendship are offered unconditionally. If you would like more information please contact us:
