Isha
University of Essex
Business and Management
Hi! I’m Isha! 🌟
I’m currently at Essex finishing up the second leg of my Dual Master's degree—I spent Year 1 in India at O.P. Jindal, and now I'm here for Year 2! My focus is Management and Organisational Dynamics, which is a bit of a pivot from my original Psychology background, but I’m loving every second of how they connect.
Beyond the books, I have a massive passion for traveling, dancing, and experiencing new things. I’m always down to explore a new city or try something outside my comfort zone! 💃✈️
I’m here to help you navigate the leap from India to Colchester and the unique world of dual-degree life. I’m an open book, but just a heads-up: if I don’t reply instantly, I’m likely busy with my other favorite hobby... sleeping. It’s an art form, really. 🛌✨
Message me about the course, the move to the UK, or just for a friendly chat!

Kavya
University of Essex
Psychology
Hi, I am Kavya. I am a Year 3 PhD research student in Psychology at the University of Essex. I moved to the UK from India to study the MSc Psychology (Conversion) course and enjoyed the experience so much that I continued on to pursue a PhD. My research explores how people think and solve tricky mathematical problems, focusing on reasoning and decision-making.
Starting as an international student was both exciting and challenging, but the University of Essex’s diverse and supportive community helped me settle in quickly. The Albert Sloman Library soon became my favourite study spot, and over time I learned to strike a balance between academic work and life on campus.
I am happy to share my experience of adapting to UK academic life, settling in as an international student, managing workload, or directing you to the right support services at the University of Essex. Please feel free to reach out and I would be glad to help. No question is too small, and I was once in your position as well.
Lasya
University of Southampton
Business Management
I’m from a small town in South India my university journey shaped who I am today: someone who values growth, connection, and learning from every experience.
I’m passionate about business, organisation, and taking care of people. In the future, I hope to build my career around business and accounting, with the long-term goal of owning my own business one day. I enjoy taking charge , ensuring things run smoothly, bringing ideas to life, relying on results and creating meaningful impact through what I do.
One of my biggest strengths is that I genuinely love talking to people, building connections, and helping others. That’s why roles like being a Student Ambassador and Peer Leader mean so much to me supporting students and making them feel comfortable reminds me why I chose this path.
Outside of academics and leadership, I’m happiest when I’m doing something calm and grounding, I’ll never say no to a walk in the garden or plant shopping . It’s my way of slowing down and finding balance in busy student life.
