  • Wanqi Lu, MA student from China, Shanghai Jiao Tong University

    "Life in Switzerland is like Utopia. It was the first time I had left home alone to live 10,000 kilometers away, but instead of feeling lonely, I felt endlessly free. University, accommodation, leisure, and so on, every aspect of life was fantastic, satisfying and full of surprises. This is a treasure spot for everyone to discover. I felt so happy and lucky to have had the opportunity to experience this completely different way of life!"
