Ramin Torabi, Iranian, 1st Year, BSc Business & Retail Management

One of the reasons why I chose Surrey is that the campus is really nice and so different to universities back home in Iran. I was so excited and I couldn’t wait to start my studies here. Once I started I still had the same feelings. I was speaking to my friends back home, and we were discussing about the system of studies we both have, the facilities and comparing the two. When I was explaining to them how our lectures were, and what we are doing at night and during the day, they were very jealous.

I think the facilities are excellent here and so is the support from staff. They are very friendly and helpful and they are always ready to solve the issues for students. Over the summer I was taking extra English classes which helped me very much as we were taught English for academic purposes, which I have found very useful now that I have started my first year.
