Making Your Stay in Coventry Worthwhile

After graduation, most of us will leave never to come back to the United Kingdom again not to talk of Coventry. Then why not make the one year stay worthwhile.This week I will be considering the social trips for current international students in Coventry University. The international office has thought it wise to make international students stay in Coventry worthwhile. I am very well aware that the pressure is mounting and the deadlines are very near for the submission of course works, but after the submissions I will like you guys to check out some of these interesting offers.

 Education I believe is not all about what we learn in the four walls of the classroom. It encompasses all things. Going to places where have not been before is an aspect of education. Most of the time in our various schools where we came from we go for field trips, so it’s something of that nature. The international office has arranged so many field trips to different places in the UK.  I know some of you have heard about this abut are not interested while some dont even know how it works or don’t even know how to pay.  It is very simple. All you have to do is to log on to the website below the table and follow and click on the section for the event and follow the guidlines. its quite affordable so dont be scared or turned away by the price. However it should be noted that you have to pay in advance so has to be part of the group.

1. Car

If you are a newbie in Coventry and you already have a car to get around - kudos - way to go mate! :D If you don't have one at the moment but are planning get one very soon -awesome mate! There are 5 major national motorway links in this region and some popular A roads as main arterial routes. It would take you approximately 20 - 30 minutes to reach Birmingham and about one and a half hour, give or take a few, to reach London. I won't talk much about the boring stuff - you'll get used to it once you get a car :D The Coventry City Council has the car parking rates. Click here to view this.

The Coventry Harvard Referencing Style

The Harvard reference system is the acknowledged referencing guide for Coventry University. For most international students, this might be seen as a big deal. I was confused at some point. The whole thing looked very strange and to worsen the case, we were being told about the power and wonders of the Almighty TURNITIN. But please don’t be scared. It’s quite simple. One mistake most of us make is not recording majority of our sources when we assess them. I will like to advise you guys to always try and write them down immediately. For this article I have consulted some sources including school’s referencing guide.

To start with, some things are essential when compiling and making the reference list. These are the things you should put down or record:

10 Must-Haves from ICELAND

Lo & Behold Coventry Conquerors!

Hope you're surviving, and doing great - with the nice, sunny, warm, weather since day before yesterday :D (I wish we have this weather for the rest of winter :P) Also, I hope you're learning how things roll in Coventry >> big time eh? :P On that note, this week, I am going to share with you the 10 items that I think are a must purchase from Iceland ( Don't know where Iceland is? Locate Iceland). Please do not mind the picture quality - I tried my best! They didn't allow me to click pictures when I asked for a permission, so I kinda had to sneak, snoop and basically act like an unwanted detective :P My apologies to Iceland for being officious, but I wanted to do it for all my endearing wanna-be Coventry Conquerors (Kidding :P) Anyway, putting a hold to all my blabbering here >>> Ready, Steady AAAND

 

Number ONE

Iceland - 5 Garlic Baguettes

Item: Iceland 5 Garlic Baguettes

Price: £2

 

This is definitely the no. 1 must have from Iceland. I mean, for a meager £2 , you get 5, full-sized, delicious garlic baguettes with tiny specks of parsley and lots of butter, and THEY, TASTE, AMAZING!
