Sarita, who is studying International Relations at Loughborough, was one of more than 1300 students from 118 countries to enter the eighth annual International Student Awards – a major initiative from the British Council that shines the spotlight on international students and their contributions to life in the UK.
To enter the competition, international students were encouraged to write a personal ‘letter home’ in English, detailing the out-of-class activities and achievements that help make their time in the UK so rewarding.
