After visiting the UK on a family vacation years ago, there was always something that was pulling me to come back. Once I finished undergrad, I thought doing my masters in the UK would be the best way for me to go back, but also shape my academic and personal growth. A year later, I can honestly say studying in the UK was one of the best decisions of my life and has become my home away from home.
At the university I studied the MSc in Neuroscience and Mental Health. What drew me into the program was how the modules were focused on neuroanatomy and the biological processes/mechanisms involved in the brain. All the lectures and modules were engaging and built on one another to help us students have a more cohesive understanding of these different topics. I found myself excited to come to class and made me realize how much I love learning – especially about the brain!
The university itself is right in the heart of Glasgow – making it close to many shops and restaurants! There are also so many clubs and events on campus for students to get involved in. What amazed me the most about Strathclyde was the amount of support provided by the professors and the school itself! They listen and value students’ feedback and ensure students have someone to reach out to in case they need it. As someone who did their undergrad at a very competitive school in Canada that had little to no support for students, I genuinely appreciated the efforts Strathclyde puts towards their students’ wellbeing and overall experience.
This slogan is plastered everywhere around Glasgow City Centre, and it holds true! The people in Glasgow are very friendly and are always willing to help if you’re lost or need recommendations. Moving abroad, especially on your own, can be quite scary and lonely at times. The community in Glasgow however turned what could have been an intimidating experience into an exciting adventure. I’ve made so many great friends here that I can’t imagine my life without. Their support and kindness made living abroad feel like home.
Glasgow itself is a hub for many different restaurants, activities and easy transportation links to airports and other parts of Scotland. I would recommend taking the time to explore Glasgow and the rest of Scotland – each place is so unique, and the views are breathtaking.
I mean it when I say I couldn’t have made this journey without Across the Pond. From applying to schools to the visa application to the actual move, they helped guide me throughout the entire process and equipped me with many resources and knowledge which made studying abroad less daunting. I am very grateful to have found their services and hope other students looking to study in the UK do the same!
To anyone considering moving to the UK for school, do it! There will be challenges, but the personal growth and confidence you gain from the experience makes it all worth it. Embrace the adventure, appreciate the highs and lows, and be proud of what you achieve and overcome.
