What has been the highlight of your time at Exeter?

I would say the people I met here and the relationships we forged all together. It is important to have a second family at university who supports you and is there for you when sometimes things do not go your way.

What will you miss most about the university?

I am doing my PhD now in Exeter. But if I left Exeter, I would miss the student life in here which is vivid and exciting!

What advice would you give to current and future students?

Don't be afraid to speak English, embrace the language and life in the UK as it is quite astonishing to do a degree in a foreign language, so be proud of whatever you do.

What are your plans now that you’ve graduated?
