I chose Hasselt University for its unique and practical Master’s in Transportation Sciences, especially the focus on traffic safety. From the moment I arrived, I felt warmly welcomed and supported by the staff and the buddy program, which helped me settle in quickly. One of my favourite experiences was the World Evening event, where students from all over the world shared their cultures, traditions, and food—it truly made me feel at home and proud to represent my country. Academically, courses like the Transport Innovation Challenge gave me real-world insights and broadened my perspective. Learning Dutch through UHasselt also helped me connect with the community. Overall, Hasselt University offers a supportive and enriching environment that truly helps international students thrive.
