Leaving home is never an easy transition, let alone leaving one’s country and travelling more than 24 hours away. Being an MA student at the University of Essex was my first time leaving India and I went into it not exactly knowing what to expect. But I took a chance, and it would go on to be the best plunge I’d ever take.

It’s a relief to be doing assignments on topics that I actually enjoy, and the sense of freedom is amazing. Even though I am only in my first year, I already feel so connected with Essex and look forward to what the next years ahead bring!
