Our Experience

Uni lifestyle has been a challenging and fun loving one so far.

As usual being all stranded in a foreign country wasn’t easy at first. We all miss home very much even after a year of being here. Like they always say “home sweet home”. Its not only about being with the loved ones but also missing the culture, food and entertainment .But its about gaining experience we suppose ….right?
Hostel life was at first difficult to adjust to. We had to be independent and we found our own circle of friends later. This made us move from our comfort zone and be more sociable. Some of us start looking for jobs for our own expenses and such. Finding a job was difficult. We needed experience even to get the first job and the pay was not into our liking at times. We had to work till late and the transport was an issue. It was annoying to work while we had assignment due to the following day. Hence juggling time between uni and work was stressful. Many of us were new to the course we are taking in the uni. Facing exams and doing assignment were way stressful that we thought .For example, we had to learn how to use Harvard referencing system which was extremely new and complicated.
We managed to get better or at least we hope to get better at the courses we are doing. The only source of entertainment at low cost DC PLUS was shut down. Although it was addictive, but it still caused a huge impact on us especially during holidays and weekends. So now we have learnt to kill time by trying new sports and other exciting activities like trying out cafes, restaurant and co shopping!!! We are trying to adapt to this new lifestyle and like they,” If you can’t avoid it….Enjoy it!!” * Big grinz*
