Studying abroad can be done successfully with the help of lecturers and they are mostly needed in such cases. Hi,

It's probably harder in two ways. Firstly, the study abroad program I am on only transfers credit based on pass/fail. This basically means that there is no difference between receiving 40% and 90% for me. It sounds cool, but it is quite hard to stay focused and motivated on study when the main reason for studying, good grades, is removed. Secondly, there are gaps in the content that need filling. Just how much work you put into understanding the content is up to you, but it could involve quite a bit more to be on the same level as the other students. That being said, only work from the semester should be assessed. Careful selection of subject would ensure no major problem in the work involved. No major differences in the lectures. My subjects are quite varied about notes, some provide juicy handouts while others are quite barren. Maths on the other hand, has a lot of rushed note taking - I'm used to bound books back home with all the theory in, with space for examples that are covered in class. Lecture theaters are made for giants, with huge gaps between the seat and desk. Lectures start at 5mins past the hour, finish at 5mins to. Though some schools decide to change this, so should you take classes from multiple schools this could pose a problem. Haha, I miss the logic of uni-wide 50mins classes starting on the hour. Hope this helps, any more questions (from anyone!) just ask :) Good question Fred. It’s probably harder in two ways.

Also, are there many differences between your lectures back home and in the UK?
