“Preston had everything I was looking for when I was searching for the best place to study. As soon as I stepped off the bus in Preston, the security staff made me love Preston. They assisted me when I was confused and helped me learn my way around the city.

“It was raining on my first day when I arrived in Preston, I think it was a good way to welcome me! I did know it rained a lot in the UK, but I am adjusting after being used to the hot weather in Ghana!"
