    “I heard that Harper Adams was the best agricultural university in the United Kingdom, so when I found out that I could study there as part of my degree, I thought why not?

     “Everyone at the university is so friendly! Shropshire is very different to Beijing, but I have adapted quickly to the environment. The only slight difficulty sometimes is the language hindrance but, if I do have problems, Student Services are great”

    Nancy,
