I like the fact that my lecturers were very approachable, they were available when you needed them. The instant and very swift response to emails and assignments and corrections is something that I really, really admire with the lecturers and tutors here at BSBI.

How is your experience in campus?

I happened to be the first female student council president in school. It was an amazing opportunity because it helped me to meet people and it was a very multicultural setting, of course. I was able to talk to a lot of people from home and abroad and it was very good. I had amazing relationship with my friends in class so usually I used to say BSBI was a home away from home, kind of, but it was actually good and it is good.

How was the experience living in Berlin?

BSBI is multicultural, Berlin is very multicultural. You could find English-speaking people, you can find different languages, you can find different food, different things, different parties. Yeah, regardless of the situation again, Berlin is actually fun. The cost of living compared to other cities, other major cities, is quite affordable for students. Accessible libraries, you have libraries for students to access and also yeah Berlin is good.
