What student life really looks like at a top university in Europe
When we think about university, we focus on the application far more than on what our life as a student will actually look like. Yet that is exactly what matters most: choosing a university and a program that truly fit you. The easiest way to find out what student life abroad is really like is to talk to someone who is already living it. At this webinar, we connect you directly with a student who is.
- What lectures and seminars are really like at a university abroad
- Which extracurricular activities you can do on campus and how they change the experience
- What integration, social life and your first professional opportunities look like
- The concrete path to getting into a top university abroad
- BONUS: a free 1:1 session with an Upgrade mentor who already studies abroad
