My experience as an international student has been transformational. It forced me to step into my adulting shoes and learn how to take charge of my future as an adult in a country I had never visited before. I have enjoyed the challenges of discovering my purpose in the UK and being constantly reminded that this place serves as a home away from home. The NTU community has been very supportive of this pursuit, and I partly owe it to all the people I have crossed paths with these last few years. The first year me is very unrecognisable and I can’t wait for the greatness that awaits me as I graduate in a few months.
