I met friends from all over the world in the U Lounge. The best thing about U Residence is that it’s on campus and a lot of international students live here, making the transition easier
I chose Taylor’s Hostel Management because it was the obvious choice. It is on campus and close to classes and it is very secure, which was what attracted my parents. The staff and admin here are very friendly and they made me feel at home and eventually it’s my home now, and I love it. The programs here at U Residence are not just bound to academics, it’s more of a living adventure and makes you grow into this person that you were not yesterday
It was easy to make new friends as my housemates and classmates were extremely friendly. The environment on-campus and in U Residence is easy to adapt to and helped me overcome my homesickness. All the facilities provided are benecial for students, such as the U Lounge for international students to study in groups.
