I had expected more international students when I came, but I only later learned that that’s not the case at the undergraduate level. So at first I was frustrated especially with how people misjudged me (including people thinking I’m American just because of my accent haha). But over time I made a good mix of both British and international friends. I also became the international rep at my college to make our voices and concerns more heard. After overcoming the initial challenges, I really enjoyed myself. It was a very social experience, and I felt so free being able to get involved with anything that I found interesting.
