I am studying Psychology at Mykolo Romerio University (MRU) and I would like to go to Kingston University in London, United Kingdom, to deepen my knowledge in Psychology. At Kingston University are subjects that we do not learn here.
First year students study Experimenting with People, when students in small groups design, run, analyse and report a significant piece of psychological research. It is very bad that we do not study it at MRU. Moreover, students have an interesting subject called Western Historical Thought, 1700-2000. They learn how people thinking has changed since year 1700. This subject includes feminism, racism, fascism, war, liberalism, capitalism and many more. I think it is a very interesting subject. Also, I would experience what it means to try to fit in among other people and I would learn more about this country.
However, there are negative aspects of studying abroad. At MRU we study in our native language and at Kingston University everything would be in English. That means that it would be harder to understand. What is more, education is more expensive in Kingston University, I would have to find a place were to live and buy food. Now I am living with my dad so I do not have to pay for anything. Also, it would be very hard to be so far away from family and friends.
It does not matter how many disadvantages there are, I would like to learn new subjects that I do not study here,to go abroad, to experience all new feelings and to change my life even for short time.
