Take a Piece of Home With You When Studying in the UK

The UK welcomes thousands of international students every year. These students attend colleges and universities here to get a good education, breaking their ties with their homes and leaving loved ones behind.

For some this separation is harder than they ever anticipated. Many have English as a second language and a few can struggle to communicate and make new friends, leaving them home sick and struggling.

Budget

Every student understands the importance of a budget. Many students work part time to supplement their income, but arriving in a foreign country and moving into an empty apartment close to campus can be a nightmare.

With international shipping and removals from John Mason, students are able to bring a piece of home with them on their journey and enjoy comforts of home in their new apartment without breaking the bank and buying new furniture.

When you weigh up the cost of buying new furniture on arrival and the time it takes, bringing pieces from home makes all the sense in the world. This way the student gets a furnished apartment with all the comforts from home, reducing the home sickness and stress and enabling them to concentrate on their degree rather than worrying about furniture.

Home Sick

It's understandable for foreign students to feel disconnected from home. They have arrived in a strange country, moved into an empty property and don't know anyone here. It can be a trying time that even sees some students hop straight back on a plane and head home.

Being able to bring belongings with you to the UK can make all the difference and this is what international shipping and removals from John Mason offer. They offer international students the ability to bring home with them to the UK, this reduces home sickness and that disconnected feeling they can get with everything being new and unfamiliar.

A little bit of familiarity can go a long way when you are thousands of miles from home.

Comfort

They stereotypical view is that students live in student accommodation with a mattress on the floor, no way to cook for themselves and sheets covering the windows. Whilst this can be part of the student experience, when you are so far from home you want to be comfortable in your surroundings.

Maybe you are struggling with the adjustment to an entirely new country, probably a country you have never visited before, you are trying to make new friends and concentrate on your school work, so being able to go home and relax in comfort is important.

Being able to bring your home furnishings with you to put in your student accommodation can leave you comfortable, secure and less home sick.

Flexibility and Convenience

International shipping and removals from John Mason offers flexibility and convenience. Many people don't realise how expensive furniture is and this is a large portion of the student's budget blown. Being able to move their own bedroom furniture and any other furnishings to a different country is easy. The flexibility to fill or share a container and the convenience of having the furniture delivered to the door, can help take the stress out of getting settled into a new life.
