“Picking just one part of my story is quite difficult as the memories I have made in the past 20 months are irreplaceable, from the late-night study sessions to wandering around this beautiful campus. Every second of being at this university holds a significant place in my heart. When I first arrived as an international student, it was challenging to cope with being away from my family and stepping out of my comfort zone into a new environment. But every obstacle I faced helped me grow into a stronger, more resilient individual. The lessons I learned go beyond academics. As I navigated through different cultures and environments, I found that adaptability and open-mindedness are crucial in understanding the world and making meaningful connections.” Kabirvansh is a third-year Computing Science student from Punjab, India.
