The life of a international student

Being an international student is exciting you get to learn different cultures and experience the world but its a hard transition to move from one country to another. I sometimes compare it to going to a boarding school in high school but now you are soo far away from home. I learn at Parul university in India and I would say I have experienced a mixture of good and bad.

One of the things a struggled with when I arrived from my home country Zimbabwe back in September 2022 was the weather. India is hot and humid the air smelt different. I had imagined that India would be cold and cool something similar to where I am from. I soon learned what the moon soon rains look like and the hot summers which reach 45+ degrees celcius.

On my journey to India I did not travel alone I came with a few of my country mates whom i did know. The experience was exciting and a little bit stress full but we made it to Mumbai my first destination. The airport is beautiful and we soon made our way to the train station. I remember it was raining so we saw some good scenery

living far from home can make most of us feel lonely but with time you make new friends and they become you new family, it is important to create meaning fool friends because it is helpful. Hindi is a very tough language to learn I would suggest anyone to learn it. It makes communication with locals easier and simpler and soo far I have had a good time in India. Despite the heat I would say people should come visit India to come experience good food and beautiful places India has to offer.
