yes of course, I would like to join in a university and continue my studies there while improving my English language skill.
I love the idea studying in the UK since visiting UK is one of my dreams for a long time. I would optimize and improve my English to another level. The best thing is I would have explore magnificent places and make new friends along the way. Furthermore, I would have experience of new cultures, which I always know about from social media and movies. Unfortunately, there is no chance for me since my condition is not that generous.
