A great place to learn and grow.
Tips: Students should know that the college offers a supportive learning environment, an active student life and good faculty members but it also expects you to be disciplined and manage your time well. Getting involved in clubs and activities really helps you to grow and maintain yourself.
Likes (Indian Food): I can definitely say that the food here is absolutely delicious. You will get different types of food, also with great taste. Many restaurants are not too far from the college. But I mostly prefer to cook myself case it's expensive out there although I sometimes eat out.

The university is great. Teachers are good. Atmosphere is lovely. Definitely recommend it.
Tips: There was a cultural shift. I took me 2-3 months to get adjusted here. I have got a scholarship of 4000 and got a 1000 discount for early bird payment. I feel it was a good decision of moving on here, the country is nice as well.
Likes (Indian Food): I prefer cooking myself but there are many restaurants including Indian, the cost is around 10 per person. Ordering food online is quite costly. Groceries are not that costly if you know how to cook, then food is not expensive here. I live in London, one can experience food from all the world here.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I would definitely love to permanent live in the UK. It has vibrant vibes, work life balance is good. People are good, salaries are good. Getting a sponsorship job is a bit difficult, but with consistent effort it's not that hard to crack. One should be mentally ready for the challenges.

Very good university with really brilliant faculty.
Tips: Should know more about the university and what course they are gonna study, and if they're going for a Masters, well and good, they need to know more about the library section. I had a chance to get my scholarship, also I am purely satisfied with my faculty and my university.

It’s a great place to grow, study and live.
Tips: For international students, Aru provides visa guidance, cultural integration programs and pre arrival resources to ensure smooth transition to life in the UK. Understanding Aru rules of attendance, grading and student conduct is essential to avoid any academic and disciplinary issues. This is a safe place to live and study, not just for international students but for everyone. The environment for international students is also welcoming and safe. I have good experiences in terms of safety. There’s also a special community for student safety. Overall, I am highly satisfied with my experiences.
Dislikes (Part time work): It’s very difficult to get a part-time job without references in the UK. International students aren’t skilled according to UK-based culture and requirements, and references play a large role in hiring. International students aren’t aware of the current market trend in the UK.

A student friendly university in a student friendly city.
Tips: The city is beautiful and student-friendly, and there are lots of things for international students to do. It usually takes a bit of time to get into the culture of the city and everyone has been very friendly on campus. I also got an international scholarship of 4000 pounds waived off of my tuition fee. The only downside is that living expenses are very high, comparable to London. But the city has a lot to offer, and I would definitely recommend Anglia Ruskin University to other students. I'm completely satisfied with Anglia Ruskin University and my course.
Likes (Student Life): There are many clubs and communities that are organised on the campus based on the country and interests like movies and sports. There will be only 2 to 3 hours of classes each day and the remaining we can spend with our friends on campus and develop our social skills. The faculty in the university is pretty decent, but there are a few members who are not teaching at the highest level. The staff is very helpful during assignments, but the lab staff is not as helpful when it comes to answering our questions.

My university was nice and has lot of facilities for international students. Great global exposure.
Tips: Anglia Ruskin University is a good choice for a university that provides great global exposure and great value for education. The course fees are relatively low compared to other universities and student life is nice. The university is located in Cambridge which is a safe and easy place to get around. The student union is there to help you and it will be a completely different experience once you move abroad. It will be really good for your future if you are looking for some international exposure and want to learn about other cultures and other countries. I would say the UK is the best place to start.
