Student Review | Aida Al Masri from Lebanon
Read about Aida’s journey from Beyrouth, Lebanon to Berlin, where she is studying BSc (Hons) International Business and Management at BSBI.
Living in Berlin
Berlin is a very beautiful city with a lot of diversity! I have been in Berlin for a year and a half, and my experience has been amazing. I have had the chance to be introduced to many cultures here.
What challenges did you face before coming to Berlin, and how did BSBI assist you from application to arrival?
Moving to a new city was a significant challenge for me, as I had to adapt to a new way of living. However, with BSBI, everything was different! The school guided me every step of the way, from the application process until my arrival in Germany. The support I received from BSBI reassured me that I made the right choice in choosing to study with them.
What can you tell students about the campus and the support system?
The BSBI campus is very nice, and it has now become my second home! The campus is cosy, with many common areas where you can sit with your friends and enjoy or work on your assignments. The support system at BSBI is amazing; if I have any difficulties or inquiries, I can always rely on the fantastic student support team to guide and help me.
Experience with the Careers Service team
The Careers Service team is very helpful and friendly. They assisted me in fixing my CV and helped me find a job through BSBI!
What would be your suggestion to BSBI students who are looking for jobs?
I would suggest contacting the careers services team because they not only help in finding job opportunities, but they also assist with many other things such as CV checks and interview preparation.
Experience with the Academic faculty and classmates
I can say that the entire academic team at BSBI is very welcoming and friendly. The professors who taught me were highly experienced and delivered their lessons with complete passion. My experience with my classmates was also very positive. Despite coming from different countries and backgrounds, we all became friends.
What was the most surprising discovery you learned about yourself while studying outside your home country?
Living away from my home country has helped me discover many hidden aspects of my personality and talents. I found out that I have a talent for cooking and also realised that I possess strong leadership skills. I am currently working on enhancing both of these discoveries.
