A diverse and enriching experience.
Tips: I've transitioned a lot personally and professionally. I'm very happy with all the good and bad experiences in my personal and academic life. The university offers strong academic support, a diverse student community, and opportunities for personal and professional growth. I received a scholarship of 15%.
Likes (Student Life): It's multicultural and vibrant, offering opportunities to connect and grow beyond academics. There are many student clubs and communities to choose from, allowing you to align with or discover your interests. I was involved in the Culture Cafe, as I enjoyed meeting and getting to know people from diverse backgrounds.
Dislikes (Indian Food): The food isn't authentic, and the variety is limited to a few places. I'm not used to eating out, so I prefer cooking for myself most of the time. However, I do buy food from outside for convenience, especially during exam time and the final week of university.

Culturally diverse and student-friendly.
Tips: This degree is ideal if you are into research and application. The classes are small and discussion based where you can share your opinion and earn extra credit by participating in discussions and research. Some of our classes even involved field trips and excursions, which were a lotta fun. The faculty is very supportive and encourages us to aim higher. I would say I am very satisfied so far.

Public transport is very feasible and well-connected throughout.
Tips: The people are warm but opinionated. They are more independent, and you'll have to work with their customs, although there are plenty of Indians as well. Getting a job has become much harder here than it used to be, and classes are quite rigorous as well. Maintain a work-life balance as much as you can.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transport is very feasible and well-connected throughout. You will have to learn how to hail a bus and figure out its routes, so get a few days to get used to it. Also, there are plenty of student discounts for travel and other necessities as well.
