The document discusses a research project conducted to understand UK culture from the perspective of foreign national students studying at Middlesex University. Thirteen pre-sessional students from different cultures completed questionnaires. Most students were under 30 and around half felt confident speaking to locals. Over two-thirds noted differences between UK and home cultures, primarily around social life. Over half experienced language difficulties in the UK. The methodology involved a questionnaire given to 15 international students from 7 countries studying at Middlesex to examine their cultural adaptation.
