My name is Daria,
I'm from Russia and I'm studying
Business Management Pathway.
So support in Warwick is huge because everyone here
is like a big family
and obviously when you come here
for the first time, you feel kind of lost.
So it's very nice
that you can meet anyone in the street and ask, oh,
where is this building or where can I find this room?
The main challenge for me
was that I have to live on my own,
but I have a great experience because I have to live
with great flatmates, very supportive, very friendly,
and we share kitchen.
So when you feel lonely
or you don't know how to do some like
basic stuff, is cooking,
you always have someone near to ask.
I live with students from the first year,
no one from IFP,
and firstly I was worried
because everyone is older than me.
But then I understand it is kind of very beneficial
because there are some students who are studying in
Warwick Business School, and when I have my questions
about economics I have someone to ask. In my course
we have a great variety of students
from all over the world,
which is very good in terms of building your network.
Everyone is very friendly
and they also, is they also, it's their first time here.
Everyone is looking to make friends,
so making friends was very easy.
To someone who is thinking about applying on IFP program,
I will say don't miss this opportunity
because it's a great experience in terms
of making your own connections, developing your studying
skills, like presentation
skills, excel, how to write essays.
So yeah, this is a great experience and I'm very grateful
I had it.
