Overall experience

Good atmosphere here for the students. They get international exposure to diverse cultures. There are lot of international students from different countries here at this college. The college is nice and big with lot of students so come here and start making new friends from all over the world.

Selection process and gaining admission

I wanted to go to uni directly, but due to some problems i could not. I had to do this English course before i could get entry into the bachelors program. I received a lot of assistance from my agent in my home country and i would recommend everyone to come through a genuine agent to make their application easier.

Funding and scholarships

No scholarships, i am funded by my parents here.

Your study experience

I am studying a hectic course, its a everyday course. We learn more about writing which will help us at uni. The assignments etc. all are related to help us at uni later. Teachers are very good, they are experienced because they have been teaching for a long time. I have a multicultural class and everyone is friendly, no local students, you can find them at uni.

Your life experience

There is a food court, games table, library, basketball etc for the students. I live in a homestay - I get meals, i dont have to cook. But sometimes it is a problem when food is not enough. I have to eat outside. Living like this is very expensive, I am planning to move in with some friends and start saving money soon. You can make friends easily. I joined the cricket club near my home but it is not at university - i didnt join a club herei. I will join clubs later when i will do my degree. I am working also part time.

Job prospects

Yes, this course will help me get a job. Graduate qualifications are required for jobs and if you dont have it you cannot get job. You also will need work experience. I will keep in touch with my friends and join the association later after i graduate.

Would you recommend your institution to future students?

Yes
