South Africa passport · started 2015–2019

Considered leaving
Go for it if you have a thick skin.

Before they found their people

It took longer than a year

What surprised them

How fast everyone moved, the thick different accents. Most students also seemed to move in cliques. Education wise everything was cool but I always seemed tobe left behind.

Wished they'd known

That I should expect a bit of racism every now and then.

Choose it again?

No, I believe nothing has changed since then because I still see people complaining about the same thing even now.

Why they nearly left

I had a difficult time adapting and I felt like the environment was not favourable for me.

Across every review here, expected to already be local predicts whether someone belonged. Treated as foreign doesn't. Why that is
