Shrewsbury UK campus is much bigger than Shrewsbury Bangkok. The buildings here are old and traditional and there is so much space with the the fields the football pitches. The equipment is better and there is much more variety in the programme. We like the communication in the classrooms but best of all we've made so many new friends - from Denmark, Italy, Spain, Sweden, France and Belgium.

Before I arrived here in Discovery Summer, I had no idea how incredible my experience would be. I have formed outstanding friendships that I am sure will last for the rest of my life. The only negeative of this experience was having to say goodbye to all the amazing pupils and staff. Thank you for allowing me to become a part of such an amazing company.
