But don’t be disappointed if you are older as You can get a special ‘stamp’ at the HUB(located in Mainbuilding ground floor) so then you can get the card with student status(full-time students only).

I’ve been to many cities since I arrived here. And want to introduce you to some famous cities by traveling for you.

Warwick Castle was the first spot on my trip and I visited it with my pre-sessional course classmates! This place was impressive since it was not only an old, historical place but also a venue for variety events. I recommend Warwick Castle for those who want to have a memorable experience of a British castle. You can see the old but picturesque British town as well. 

Liverpool is the city of the ‘Beatles’. In this city, you can see something relating to the Beatles everywhere you go. The most famous place is ‘The Cavern Club’ which is known as the first place that the Beatles performed. You still can enjoy the Beatles music in this place with great crowds.

Getting My Scholarship

After I received a confirmed offer from Aston University, I got an e-mail about The Su Youn Scholarship for South Korean Students. To apply I had to write a two page essay and wait for two University’s decision. I didn’t feel confident because there was only one scholarship available. About a week later when I arrived at Aston University to attend the pre-sessional course during the summer holiday, and I got an e-mail from the International office. This e-mail began with the word ‘’Congratulations’’! Aston offered me a scholarship! I felt so proud of myself and knew that this scholarship would encourage and motivate me, throughout studies at Aston. I called my family and told my friends whom I had met at the pre-sessional course and all of them congratulated me.
