I came to the UK as a student in 2010 — just like you.
I still remember how overwhelming everything felt.
New country.
No guidance.
No one to pick me up.
No idea where to stay.
Simple things like finding a room, understanding transport, or even buying groceries felt confusing and stressful.
Like many Desi students coming from Pakistan and India, I had to figure everything out on my own — often the hard way.
