Sustainability everywhere

When I arrived on Sunday evening, it was dark and only did I learnt more about the university's layout yesterday. It was interesting to see why the student accommodation is named "The Green". It is obvious that all student accommodation and even some (well most) building are very "green".

According to the university's website, 

"The Green is the most sustainable development of its kind in the world, making the most of natural resources like solar power and rainwater and costing very little to heat and light."

 

Also, looking around the university, the buildings all seems to be very sustainable too with its appearance being very green and brown...

 

Journey to University of Bradford

Packing done? Check...managed to pack everything I needed (finally) for the week before I lef the house. It was strange in fact that we were asked to bring toiletries with us.

Anyway, journey to Bradford seems to be quite long. To my memory, I think Bradford has been the second furthest North of England I have travelled, minus the the time when I travelled to Lancaster for something else and to Ulster in Northern Ireland for a conference.

Bye bye London and hello to Bradford!!!!! ☺️

I have always learnt to bring work with me wherever I go to keep me awake and keep my mind working, especially on such long journeys like this afternoon. All in all, it took me about 5 hours to arrive to my room on campus at the University of Bradford through the means of walking, bus, train, tube, train and then finally walking a very hilly road to read my destination.

Bradford is definately not like London, flat and quite. It seems to me that Bradford was indeed a very peaceful area; but then again it was a late Sunday afternoon. It was definately a very interesting journey from the station to the university, carrying my luggage up the hill and making such loud noises from the wheels!

This evening, I attended the 'Welcome Reception' at the Bradford Brewary where I met other Bursary students for the British Science Festival as well as staff. It was good to network with others and seeing what univeristies they are coming from. I also met (finally) the other student from University of Westminster. Funny enough that we both are living at the same flat on campus and next door to each other!
