This is the small room I rented during my year of studying abroad in the UK, which I found through an agency. Although the room is not large, it is well-organized and has good lighting, making both studying and living quite comfortable. When I first moved in, it felt a bit unfamiliar, but little by little, after adding some of my favorite small items, the atmosphere became much cozier. I hope that in the coming year, I can not only study hard here but also create unforgettable memories, making this small room a special witness to my study abroad life.

Not bad, but the heating was broken and hasn't been fixed, so I used a heater to get through.
