[quote=Anonymous]I studied in UK when I was a student.  Flew over, came home for Christmas, backpacked in Poland and Czech Republic and visited a friend from uni in Wales during other breaks. Also,  spent part of a break just hanging out. A few friends were around too. It was fun, we did a lot of weight training together. In summer, I visited a few friends in London and Bucks and then went home.

My parents came to visit but never had to come for an emergency.  I used nhs for health issues and had a contact of a family friend in UK. She lived close to Heathrow,  so if I needed,  I could stay with her coming or going, and if there were an emergency,  she could help me. I made good friends. When someone followed me and tried to break into my flat,  the police took an hour to arrive,  but my friends came over immediately.  I don't think I told my parents about that, nothing they could do anyway. I was pretty independent and had lots of support from friends. Also,  when people find out you are on your own from another country (even America), they are very helpful-- bank, airline, doctor,  pharmacist,  etc.[/quote]
