Introduction
Hi, my name is Athirah, I¡¯m 23 years old. I have a Bachelor¡¯s in Dentistry from the University of Adelaide.
?
?
How was your university experience?
It was really fun to be honest. I made a lot of good friends and I joined a few student organizations as well. I also managed to travel and explore many places throughout my time there.
?
What is your favourite thing about Adelaide?
I¡¯m the kind of person who enjoys peace and nature, so Adelaide is the perfect place for me. I like that it¡¯s quiet and peaceful but at the same time not boring at all.
?
What are your honest thoughts on the University of Adelaide?
I feel like they are very supportive. If I ever have any problems, I could just go to the student services and someone will be there to help me right away. In terms of studying experience, all my lecturers were very friendly and helpful. I could just shoot them an email anytime and they would respond.

Why did you choose to study abroad starting right from your Pre-U?
I thought it would be a good idea to start early and I wanted to experience living independently at a young age. I¡¯m glad that I did.
?
Was travelling abroad harder considering you were still underage?
Not really actually. À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ helped me with all the application processes, such as Visa and college application. From what I remember, I applied with my SPM results and once I got accepted and my Visa was approved, I travelled with my dad to Adelaide to settle my accommodation and my college entrance.
?
Would you recommend for others to study their pre-u overseas?
Yes definitely. It really helped me to be more independent and confident on my own. I also was able to develop my soft skills. So, if you have the chance to study your pre-u overseas, don't be afraid to do grab it while you can.

How did À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ help you throughout the application process?
À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ basically did everything for me, including my Visa and pre-u application. All I had to do was sign a few documents and confirm a few details and the rest was done by them, which was amazing. They also gave me regular updates on the status of my application.
?
Would you recommend À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ to others?
Yes definitely! My brother and my younger sister also used À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ to apply for their higher education and we were very happy with the services provided by them. The staff were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and so I would highly recommend À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ.
