Student Forum Now Open!

With such an international group of users, the TopUniversities student forum is also an especially good place to find out about studying abroad in different locations around the world. Struggling to choose between New York and Chicago? Use the forum to connect with students who are already in those cities. Unsure about the student visa process for Australia? Ask someone who’s already been through it. (If that ‘someone’ is you, please do share your insights!)

As well as getting advice during the weeks and months leading up to starting a university course, and/or moving to a new location, the student forum can also provide ongoing support. You may find it helpful to share your experiences (both good and not-so-good) with others – whether in the same location or elsewhere. As well as being able to pass on useful practical tips and knowledge, this is also about creating an international students support network. If you’re like me, you’ll probably also just find it interesting hearing about what it’s like to live in different places – and you never know when those international connections will come in handy!

Leading on from this last point, you can use the student forum just simply to share your experiences of student life. Maybe you’ve just attended a great postgraduate conference and feel the (highly admirable) urge to pass on some of what you learned. Maybe you’re wondering whether every student canteen in the world serves equally lumpy gravy as your own. Or perhaps you’ve just come up with a hil-ar-ious chemistry joke and want to test it out... (Just remember: keep it clean and be respectful.)
