One of the first things I was extremely enthusiastic about was the fact that the University had International Students from all over. Initially I wasn't quite sure what and who to expect. Upon our first few days of our arrival, we had to attend whats called an International Study Camp, that is basically to meet other International Students and interact with them. But since we arrived a little late, we missed out on most of the fun events and ended up attending a couple of soft skill classes, which honestly I found boring.
My heart sank, thinking that I had missed my chance of meeting people from all over the world. But then came a two day trip to the North Sea. Excited and all geared up for an adventure, we finally met and interacted with students from all over the world.
There are people from China, Japan, USA, Italy, France, Spain, Turkey, Bulgaria, Latvia, Finland and Scotland and ofcourse us Indians. The mix is colourful, crazy and a whole lot of fun. Initially we were a little hesitant to talk and hang out but food, beer and the sea got us all a lot closer!
Now we have gotten adventurous and more friendly, so we hang out a lot together, nine of us even managed to go to Munich and come back safe, there are special Country Meal nights, where someone invites the others for a meal or a dessert. It is indeed a lot of exposure, cultural confluence, learning from each other and sharing thoughts, ideas and views. I believe this is one of the best things to have happened, there is always so much learn from people and their experiences.
Im soaking in all that I can!
