Hey! I'm Ben and I love Physics!! I have just finished my second year of Physics at the University of Manchester in England. This year will be embarking on something completely different... I will be jumping into the deep end and will be studying for a year abroad at the University of Maryland in the USA :D

I was not just handed this opportunity, I had to work for it. I had to maintain a first class average (equivalent to a 4.0 GPA) for both my first two years of study and have had to organise my transfer and arrange the whole trip.

I can't wait to start learning about American culture and work ethic and I want to make the most of my year by visiting and exploring as much as I can in my limited free time there. I will work to the best of my ability and want to grow as a person. In my opinion travelling is the best way to learn and grow. I can continue to develop my independence and after spending a year in another continent there will be little else that could possibly phase me. I want to be able to meet new and interesting people and experience things I never have before!

Unfortunately this all comes at a cost and I hope you will be able to help me out to ease the impact of costs such as health insurance, flights, accommodation and living/ travelling costs. Any and all donations will be greatly appreciated and I hope you can help out a curious and inquisitive student who wants to experience the world! :)
