Are you a Middle Eastern student eager to connect with peers who share your background and interests?
This is your chance to meet fellow students who understand your culture, values, and traditions, which can help you make friends and feel more connected to the university community. 💬🤝
Being part of a community can make a large university feel smaller and more personal. It helps in creating a sense of belonging, reducing feelings of isolation, especially if you’re far from home.
You can connect with others who might be going through similar experiences, whether it’s adjusting to university life, homesickness, or balancing cultural expectations with academic responsibilities.🧑🎓📚
Enjoy free refreshments with coffee, tea and soft drinks and snacks, fun icebreakers designed to help you connect with students from your community, whether you're an international or UK student. 🥤🥨
Can't wait to see you there!
