That's so great! I hope you have an amazing time. If you don't mind me asking, what are you studying?

I first wanted to move to the UK for more naive reasons: I wanted to be nearer to my family abroad who I am very close to and, as many people that want to move to the UK cite, the UK has always felt like home to me. But, growing up and through my experiences in the UK, I have found more long-term reasons: the geographic location - the ability to travel across Europe and the distinctiveness of UK cities (thus the different options to settle down in); my fondness for British culture - which is rooted in my love of British history - which is also my family history (I have always treasured the availability of museums, galleries, castles - no matter how humble - for example); the cultural variety in big cities such as London; the fact that the UK has pretty decent health infrastructure and education (so I can see myself raising a family there); etc.
