International students told us their biggest struggles living in Warwick

Being one of the most international universities in the world is what Warwick such a diverse and exciting institution.

Although it is a fun place to be, we asked international students if there are challenges of being at Warwick. Here is what they told us.

Jimena, first year, International Business

I am from Spain and my biggest challenge is the weather, especially the rain. I miss my family and friends the most. Also the idea of not having to cook or clean.

Shandeep, first year, Economics

I am from Singapore, and what I miss most from home is my family and the fact that I can travel easily wherever and whenever I want.

Jonas, first year, Accounting and Finance

I am from Lithuania, and the biggest challenge is the language barrier and the food. The food is the worst.

Muhammad, second year, Management

I am from Pakistan and in UK there is more freedom – it seems that no one cares. It was a challenge to get use to the culture, environment and making new friends. What I miss most is my family and my car.

Nadia, first year, International Management

I am from Bulgaria and the biggest challenge of living in the UK is getting used to the fact that the cars are in the other side of the road, but what I miss most from home is food.

Andrei, first year, PPE

I am from Romania and my biggest challenge of living in UK is to get use to the university life, which involves cooking, washing, studying and partying – it takes longer to adapt as I expected.

Joanna and Anna, second year, Moors and Financial Accounting

Joanna: We are from Bulgaria, and my biggest challenge living in UK is the weather, food, missing my friends and family.

Anna: What I miss every day is the sun and the beach.

Arthur, first year, International Business

I am from France, and I don’t believe in challenges or difficulties. For me, living in UK is an opportunity to make new friends and learn from a different culture and environment.
