How would you describe your student experience so far?
From the first second when I moved to Manchester, it was never boring. Joining such an international university results in many new friends from all over the world. And instead of asking myself what to do, it was hard to decide what not to do. Time is for sure the scarcest good, as the university with all its services, societies and events offers more activities than you can attend. Consequently, there is no such thing as the typical student experience, there is just a vast amount of opportunities and this is what I enjoy every single day.
