00:01Learning languages is one of my hobbies.

00:03It's probably one of the things I'm most passionate about.

00:07I chose Portsmouth and chose to study it at university just because

00:11I didn't have the abilities that I have now.

00:13So I wouldn't have been able to learn it on my own.

00:16Hi, I'm Diavion Brown, and I studied applied languages

00:20in Spanish and Mandarin at University of Portsmouth.

00:23The course had everything that I wanted.

00:30It was one of the only places that would let me do Mandarin

00:34with a European language.

00:35There aren't any places that will let you do that.

00:37And then once I got there, the thing that kind of kept me there

00:41was the amount of opportunities you get just in general,

00:44like socially and stuff.

00:45They provide a lot of opportunities for you to be able to socialize

00:50and make friends and that sort of thing.

00:51And outside of that also, there was a lot of placement opportunity

00:56and like I worked for the uni as well,

00:59which led to me getting really good positions and stuff.

01:01So that's probably my favorite thing.

01:04Affordability was important to me just because it reduced stress a lot

01:09with deadlines and all that sort of thing, like typical stress at uni

01:12that you can't really avoid in general.

01:14I didn't want to have to worry about money and paying rent

01:17and being able to afford groceries on top of that.

01:20So it was important to just make the process of being at university

01:24as easy as I could for myself.
