Studying French at university was a great opportunity to make the final push from proficient to fluent. I studied abroad in France and New Caledonia where I realised how important knowing another language is. Language can open so many professional doors and demonstrates to employers that you have a long-term vision and can work towards achieving a goal.
Clubs & SocietiesBecoming involved with a club or multiple clubs is one of the best ways to meet new people and have fun while studying.
