This month’s winner
Be it treating me to sticky toffee pudding, giving me warm gloves or taking me to see snow for the first time, you have all made me immeasurably happy. I have been given helpful directions while lost, been introduced to the best of British film and television, and presented with tonnes of your sweets, which are my favourites! Your everyday acts of kindness have made my three years of university welcoming and safe.
Moving to a new place always involves sacrifice. As an international student from India, I’ve crossed oceans to come and study here. This was my first time living away from family and a major transition. At first, it was isolating and unsettling. I wondered if the UK would ever feel like home.
