Testimonials
I was an Erasmus exchange student at the University of Salford three years ago and got a chance to be a member of this brilliant society in Manchester.
Visiting loads of cities with you, embracing multicultural environment and experience I earned so far has been absolutely amazing. You helped me a lot to become who I am today. Loads of hugs and kisses from Turkey. Miss you a lot.
Thank you so much for making my year in Manchester so much sweeter. I went to Edinburgh, Alton Towers, and Blackpool with the International Society and I thoroughly enjoyed my time.
Keep up the fantastic work!
The Society was offering very good UK wide trips with a comfortable transportation at a reasonable price and I just want to short my experience in those below words. Just imagine that since I have graduated 2013 and left the UK why I am still reading the weekly emails as if I have nothing to do since I completely left?
The answer is simply because you are great in every aspect from the events to the trips up to your unlimited activities and the kind support.
We have had an amazing trip and experience in Edinburgh, it’s a really nice place and it has remind us our Sicily for different aspects.
