“It was not easy leaving my hometown of Kuching to study here at Curtin Malaysia. The thought of leaving my family and having to live on my own was very daunting. But now I know I worried needlessly. Rather than regretting or suffering because of my decision, I’m enjoying every minute of my time here.

“Studying in university can be challenging but I have gained a lot here. I enjoy socialising with other students and I try to stay active in club events. My English has improved a lot as a result. I tend to smile a lot because I’m happy here and I want to share my joy with others. I have also a great bunch of friends who make me happy and we have great times together. Of course, achieving good grades is important to me too.” –Monica Wee May Fon, Accounting and Finance student
