ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½Ó°ÊÓ

Meeting people from across the world, where we started as strangers and left as family...Sussex has truly been one of my most challenging yet happiest experiences.

I got the opportunity to explore and understand what being from the Global South meant, and found people who went through a similar journey. My best friends are now from around the word - India, Brazil, Japan, Syria, Thailand, Ethiopia and the UK – all of whom Sussex helped me find! I got to travel around Europe, experience new cultures and try amazing food. 

After working for a few years, coming back to academia was a challenge, but what helped were the opportunities to experiment and learn, and, of course, the fun parties we attended (and threw at Brighthelm 38)! As a Master's student and a Chevening Scholar, the opportunities to learn and grow were numerous. I am grateful to the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½Ó°ÊÓ!
