What has been the highlight of your time at QMU so far?
The highlight of my time at QMU has been living in Student Accommodation. Not only have I made incredible friends because of the student life on campus, but I have also always felt very safe. The rooms are modern and clean and are well taken care of by the maintenance team. Also, I feel very connected to other students and have easy access to social activities, groceries, and frequent public transport into the city centre.
What is one thing you wish you knew before coming to university at QMU?
Before coming to QMU, I was not fully aware of how supportive and accepting this university is. Especially as an international student, it has been a surprisingly easy transition into a whole new life, and I am so grateful that QMU is a safe environment for many students that are in a similar position to me.
What is your favourite thing about being an ambassador for QMU?
I am very excited to be an ambassador for QMU because it feels like just yesterday that I was trying to choose which university to go to and now, after studying at QMU for just over a year, I get to share my positive experiences with others!
