Photo of international student Donovan at INTO Glasgow Caledonian University

I've found it really easy to settle – making friends has really helped me not to be homesick. INTO is a really good stepping-stone from school to university. You get really good support both academically and socially. I wanted to go somewhere totally different from Malaysia and Glasgow has offered me a great exposure to different nationalities and cultures.
