"Living and studying with people from a range of backgrounds had a really positive effect on me. We did lots of group work and this shared environment really changed me as a person. I became more open-minded and collaborative, and learned to understand situations from other people’s perspectives – all skills that have been really helpful in my career."

Mako Watanabe / BSc Biomedical Sciences (2017)
