Anew student officer told me a great story over the summer that bears telling here.
When he arrived into the UK last year as an international PGT, he decided to go to the Freshers Fair to join societies and clubs.
He joined the society for his country on the basis that he would be able to connect with others from home. The people he met turned out to be not that different from those on his course, where one country dominates much of the international recruitment – although this way he was at least able to do stuff with the group that wasn’t just curricular.
