Networking is important for a good university experience
Tips: The most important thing is to make sure to grasp the academic setting in a foreign country. Get ready for a change in culture too. Reach out to the student support services early on, they can really help ease this transition. I'm in a program with high demand in the industry, so it's crucial to pick a course wisely. Also, try connecting with fellow students it makes learning more enjoyable and helps you understand things better. It is important to do a lot of research about the university and course before enrolling for a university.

Supportive environment with strong academic focus and affordable.
Tips: Students should be aware of the strong academic support, experienced faculty, and diverse opportunities available. However, they should also prepare for a rigorous workload, actively utilise campus resources, and engage in networking to fully benefit from their time here.
Likes (Public transportation): It is reliable, free, well-connected, and efficient, offering easy access to major areas, reducing the need for a personal vehicle, and supporting sustainable urban mobility. Buses run frequently until midnight and start early in the morning.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Limited opportunities exist in my field, along with visa restrictions and unclear pathways to long-term employment after graduation, making it less favourable compared to other countries. As a current student, I lack clarity on this matter.
