Studying in Switzerland has been my best decision so far.  My university, School of Business, University of Arts and Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland (FHNW), with teachers and students from different parts of the world makes a multicultural environment in the classroom.

Group work is utmost important in school of Applied Sciences and we learn from practical case studies and live projects with clients, which promotes creativity and business acumen.

I live in a small town but it's just around one hour away from big cities like Zurich, Bern, Lucerne, Basel. Living in Switzerland is expensive but the food quality is always guaranteed and I enjoyed great transport services.  Public transports with train, trams and buses are awesome and always on time. The only complaint that I have in Switzerland is that shops including supermarkets and convenient stores close very early in the evening.

Switzerland is a beautiful country with spectacular Swiss alps, marvellous lakes, and fresh air. I spent most of my weekend to travel around. French, Italy and German parts of Switzerland are very different from the languages, food to sightseeing and worth discovering every single spot. I enjoy an afternoon being on the boat in Osingensee, having a beer at lucern and Zurich lake, hiking in Interlaken, listening to fishes' movement and wind blow sound on an amazingly quiet Zermatt mountains.

Besides, it's convenient to have a weekend getaway to Milan, Barcelona, Frankfurt, and many other Europe cities.

I had a great time studying in Switzerland and I am looking forward to going back there soon.
