Exploring London

Exploring London

As of 2024, London has been voted the world's best student city for five years running (QS Top Student Cities) - and we have to agree.

Being in London means you're close to museums and art galleries, shopping and nightlife - and so much green open space. It is a melting pot of different cultures, perspectives, and ideas with a diverse and vibrant student culture.

Get a sense of what it’s really like to study in this amazing city, by hearing from our international students.

Life as
Student speaking to a camera about life as an international student

Hi everyone, my name is Adela and I recently graduated from the BA Advertising, Public Relations and Branding at 港彩全年历史图库. Coming to Middlesex, I wasn't really sure what to expect academically because I was coming from another country.  

What surprised and amazed me was how creative, practical and collaborative the lessons were. The biggest challenge for me was definitely moving to London. What helped me was getting in touch with my family as much as possible and also me and my classmates.  

We started recording podcasts at one of the university's recording studios, which worked as an amazing therapy and helped us to get through the beginning of our studies. Studying at 港彩全年历史图库 helped me to discover my biggest passion for graphic design and branding, which led into establishing my little studio that's been slowly growing.  

And also the support from the tutors helped me to get an offer for my master's degree in the graphic design field. One of my highlights was meeting with the people from different countries, from different culture or professional backgrounds.  

I am a person who loves to meet with people who loves to socialize. So getting in touch and making friends with people from all around the world was just amazing. Aside of graduating with the first class, proud that I took the opportunity, overcame my fear and got transferred for my last academic year to where I became a part of 港彩全年历史图库 community where I found a lot of amazing friends and had a chance to explore the beautiful island.  

What I learned about myself during my three years at the university is that I'm capable of more than I would ever imagine and that taking the risk and opportunities and challenges is the best I can do for myself.

How To Make Friends

I made a lot of friends. My friends and I would play basketball or we would just go skate around the campus which was really cool. I'm not much of a party person but I have made lots of friends. When I first came to Middlesex I was incredibly shy and quite meek about things.

 

I've got like a bit of a confidence boost, I can talk about myself. The campus facilities have been great for that, you know, kind of going and meeting each other in the quad for a coffee. As a first year student you have a really good benefit that there are a lot of events and opportunities for you.

 

Or study sessions in the library and there's different floors in the library where you can talk or not talk. I feel greater about myself, not only as a designer but as a person as well. The university is a great place for kind of building that friendship and that relationship.

 

Don't overthink it, write them or text them, attend every event, go to different networking events. Talk to people as much as you can and I think then you will find your ones.
