"Thousands of students speaking many different languages, coming from all parts of the world and representing many various cultures – it is my favorite thing about studying at the University of Nottingham. Living in the multicultural environment broadens horizons and shapes personality. I believe that thanks to people around me I have strengthened my understanding of different cultures. No matter what are the backgrounds of students, we all build the community of the University of Nottingham and make friends with each other. It is a marvelous experience!"
