“I felt a bit uncertain at the beginning but the lecturers were so welcoming and that really helped me to settle in from the beginning. I’ve been very lucky with the other students on my degree too. We’ve only just begun the year, but there’s already a great atmosphere in class and people are smiling and laughing.”
Raquel
“I really enjoyed the fair for the Student Clubs. It showed me that being here is not just about studying, but also about enjoying ourselves and doing things that can complement our education. For example, I loved finding out about Radio CEU and I want to take part in that.”
Pablo
“The University makes it easy for us to meet and get to know other students and that helps us all to be more open to other people. That means that the chance of having friends from other countries is very high.”
