• Hi Dev! What are you studying?

  Bachelor of Aviation (Flight Training)

• Why did you choose to study in Australia?

  I had spent my whole life in one country -China- in an international school. I really loved the fact that I was able to learn about multiple cultures and regions which made diversity a huge part of my life. Melbourne being home to so many international students was the best place for me to study and live.

• Why did you choose to live at Iglu?

  I chose to stay at Iglu because of the events and the daily breakfast. The events and the daily breakfast make it so much easier to make friends. It’s like a big family having breakfast every day together 🙂

• What is your favourite thing about being a student?

  Being a university student is more than just studying and I love that about the university student life. At times it does get stressful as it does involve a lot of adulting, however, within a lot of kids who are attempting the adulting bit, we make so many friends and that is what I absolutely love about being a student. The connections you build as a uni student stay for a lifetime.

• What is your favourite thing to do when you are not studying?

  I enjoy spending time with my friends, and that usually involves playing sports, watching sports or just going out for a bite. Australia is home to some of the most beautiful sport stadiums so I always enjoy going to live AFL or Cricket matches.

• So you’re a Resident Leader. What’s your favourite thing about being an RL?

  I love the interactive bit. The connections and friends I have made as an RL will forever be close to me.

• What is your favourite thing about Iglu?

  My favorite thing about Iglu is the diversity. There are so many people from different places around the world and I love learning and hearing about their cultures. Everyone has a different background, a different field of study and that’s what interests me the most.

• Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

  Flying planes, hopefully for airlines 🙂

• What words of wisdom would you pass on to future Iglu residents?

  Sign up for all the events! Do NOT hesitate, or you will regret it.
