**Best:** I had always dreamed of studying abroad, so when I got accepted into a prestigious university in UK, I was over the moon. I packed my bags and boarded the plane, ready for a new adventure. I arrived at the campus and was greeted by friendly staff and students, who helped me settle in and showed me around. I was amazed by the diversity and vibrancy of the city, and the rich academic and cultural opportunities that awaited me. I made friends from all over the world, joined various clubs and societies, and explored the sights and sounds of Huddersfield. I also enjoyed my courses, which challenged me to think critically and creatively, and gave me valuable skills and knowledge. I felt like I was living my best life, and I was grateful for every moment. **Worst:** Everything changed when the pandemic hit. The university announced that all classes would be moved online, and that we had to stay in our dorms or return to our home countries. I decided to stay, hoping that things would get better soon. But they didn't. The lockdowns and restrictions lasted for months, and I felt isolated and depressed. I missed my family and friends, and the freedom and joy of travelling and exploring. I struggled to keep up with my studies, which seemed pointless and boring. I felt like I had wasted my time and money, and that I had lost my purpose and passion. I regretted ever coming to UK, and I wished I could go back to my old life.

**Best:** I had always been fascinated by engineering, so when I got admitted into a top-ranked engineering school, I was thrilled. I was eager to learn from the best professors and peers, and to work on cutting-edge projects and research. I enrolled in a variety of courses, ranging from mechanical, electrical, civil, to computer engineering, and I loved them all. I was impressed by the practical and hands-on approach of the curriculum, which allowed me to apply my theoretical knowledge to real-world problems. I also participated in several competitions and hackathons, where I collaborated with other talented and passionate students, and created innovative solutions and prototypes. I felt like I was fulfilling my potential, and I was proud of my achievements. **Worst:** I soon realized that engineering was not as easy as I thought. The courses were extremely demanding and rigorous, and I had to spend countless hours studying, doing assignments, and preparing for exams. I barely had any time for myself, let alone for socializing or hobbies. I felt overwhelmed and stressed, and I started to lose interest and motivation. I also felt inadequate and inferior, as I compared myself to other students who seemed to be smarter and more successful than me. I doubted my abilities and choices, and I wondered if I had made a mistake by choosing engineering. I felt like I was drowning, and I wanted to give up.

I studied MSc in the University of Huddersfield in 2012 and I did choose it for my PhD this year too, because I am very comfortable with the academic staff there, which are very informative and helpful. The location of the university is great for me as an international student , because Huddersfield near the Manchester and Machester Airport. Finally, the university's tuition fee is quite affordable if compare it to other UK universities.

The campus is nice as it’s all in walking distance with student accommodation near by. Starting my course was difficult as it felt very unorganised however that’s my personal experience. Good transport links which is a positive however the nightlife and shopping isn’t great. I think there just needs to be a better structure to the course as things are often changing.

The University staff take into consideration each individual’s needs and react with problems in order to get them solved. It could however be improved by regular meetings with personal tutors to build a professional relationship and make sure that studies and personal life is up to date and positive.

The best aspect of Studying at Hudds Uni is that the staff are very friendly and are always willing to help but worst part of my study is that I came across some very rude students around campus.

Every one is very helpful and friendly, but parking is a nightmare. There is plenty of space around that could be used for student parking, otherwise you either have to pay a fortune, or walk a long way (if you drive at all)

Supportive staff that care about students well-being and mental health, go above and beyond to ensure university is a good place for us all to study. Staff and lecturers are very accommodating and contactable. What I would improve is the food they have to offer at university, raise the variety and if they could make them more affordable for students. I appreciate the halal options at university

I am an international student. Studying in this university has exposed me to different cultures and different ways of learning. In every class here, the teachers attach great importance to the combination of practical content, but also attach great importance to arouse our students' thinking, and the whole class has a very equal communication atmosphere. The library of the university is also well equipped with various books and electronic equipment. I really like my university - University of Huddersfield! I love it! However, in my opinion, the role of college students association has been weakened. I hope I can feel more help from the student union, as well as some opportunities and platforms provided, which I think are somewhat inadequate in the university.

A welcoming and inviting campus that is home to some of the most brilliant researchers our country has. An active students union that presents all students with great opportunities to socialise and or learn something new

For me, one of the best aspects about studying here is that I feel as if I am still getting the full uni experience despite still living at home. My course is really interesting and I feel supported by most of the staff. The societies I have joined are also really interesting and friendly.
