Louise Benard, louise.benard17@imperial.ac.uk
Studying at Imperial College is a truly unique experience. Not only is it exciting to be learning about a subject that you chose but you get to meet and work alongside students and staff from all over the world. As a student here, you have the opportunity to join societies that offer everything from music to martial arts. There really is something for everyone! The key to success at Imperial is to balance university work, extracurricular activities (including going out!) and sleep! Obviously, you are here to learn and study but what will make your Imperial College experience truly memorable will be the fact that you went out of your comfort zone and pushed yourselves in ways that you didn't know you were capable of. Finally, don't forget to make the most of all the incredible resources available to you, be it world-renowned researchers or the many sports facilities. Studying at Imperial is intense but rewarding and certainly an experience you will never forget!
