Exeter is an outstanding and leading university, from the beginning I was sure that being a student at such a university will provide many positive attributes. As well as the city was amazing.

The intellectual skills were profound, being able to be critical and think between the lines, critical evaluating the given-for-granted notions helped me develop on several levels.

Go ahead, being a university professor is both fulfilling and rewarding. Being able to give back, helping others progress, and passing on knowledge is one of the overwhelming feelings that one could feel.

I plan to open an institution that provides extra curricula work for students in schools. This plan will help rise school students’ competence and critical abilities.
