Student Soundbites
Hear about some of our students' experiences at the College and in the UK.
"This was my first time in England and I was a bit nervous in the beginning, but after a few days I started loving it because I met lots of people from other countries and the staff are very friendly and helpful. I had a lovely time during my stay in Guildford and my English is much better now. This was an experience of a lifetime for me."

"Before studying at Merrist Wood Kwangjae worked in an international trading company. His job allowed him to study in the UK and eventually he decided to study full-time. “I attended gardening courses before as a hobby but then my interest grew and I thought that I would make the change and turn it into a career."

"I will keep the time at Guildford College, my host family and my internship at Allianz as a brilliant experience in mind. My internship was challenging but not overstraining, our classes at College very interesting and I had a great time with my host mum. Despite a full time job, I had enough time to see London or to travel around meeting friends. The three weeks of our stay have gone so quickly that me and the rest of my group from Germany even started thinking about not going back home again."

"I won a scholarship to Guildford College through the British Council ‘Let Your English Grow’ competition. I am interested to improve my English as I want to be a tourist guide. I am going to university in 2010 to study tourism. The teachers and classmates at Guildford College are good. Other students are from Turkey, China, Japan and Spain. The buildings and weather are different from Bangkok. I am studying at upper-intermediate level and would recommend Guildford College to my friends. The people here are nice and kind, I have the best host family, I receive good advice from my teachers and there are many wide open spaces and colourful flowers here.
I have cooked for my host family Thai food and have tried new food like cottage pie, roast potatoes and I love gravy. There is less pollution in Guildford and I like to walk to school everyday. It feels a bit chilly and is not as warm as Bangkok. I have visited Guildford Castle and done a lot of shopping and my host family will be taking me to London."
