Instead oftalking about one person, I want to talk about all three of my housemates in mysecond year of uni.

I moved outof campus and found a house in townafter I finished the first year. That was back inJuly 2007. I found the house completely bychance. Ana, the only girl in the house had already lived there for a year.All the rest of us moved in that summer. Rob and I moved in at about the sametime, and Neil was the last person to move in.

The threeof them Ana, Rob, and Neil all knew each other. I was the only newcomer in the gang, and also I was the only foreigner in the house. But the threeof them all welcomed me with an open heart. I was only expecting to stay therefor the summer but because we got along so well Idecided to stay there for the whole of my second year. It’s probably the bestyear of my uni life. I had such a good time in that year. Every week, we wouldtake turns to cook on weekends and invite our friends over for dinner anddrinks. We would drink and play games, and laugh until the neighbours came to knock on our doors. And of course therewere quarrels and falling-outs, but we always managed to get over them.

It’s kind of the turningpoint of my student life in the UK. I gained so much more than just friendship from my housemates. Theyalso took me in and helped me integrate into British culture and student life. Icouldn’t have foundbetter housemates.
