Why did you choose to come to SMU? 

Campus experience is an important factor that many consider when choosing their future university. For me, the buzz surrounding SMU's dynamic campus life, particularly beyond the confines of dormitories, was a significant draw. The campus is always full of life, with a constant stream of club events and university-wide activities happening throughout the year. The most meaningful friendships I’ve made during my university years have been through school clubs, thanks to the vibrant and ever-active club scene at SMU. The university offers a wide array of clubs catering to diverse interests, each fostering tightlyknit, dedicated communities. Campus life at SMU extends well beyond the classroom; it extends into the realms of engaging club activities and spontaneous late-night outings with friends. My experience at SMU has far surpassed my expectations, offering a rich and fulfilling campus life that continues to thrive beyond the classroom.


Please share with us your favourite global experience

I went to Concordia University in Montréal, Canada for my ISEP. In my time there, I made friends from all over the world, and exchanged knowledge and cultures along the way. Being given the opportunity to live and study in a different country most importantly allowed me to experience a different way of life, and to grow as an individual.
