"Attending the University of Melbourne’s pre-departure briefing, organised in Delhi, significantly boosted my confidence and connections. I was able to meet other students from my course and the experiences shared by the alumni on making the most out of my university life were invaluable. Interacting with faculty professors clarified my doubts about my course and the checklists in the presentation helped me in my preparations. The event provided me with a direction and motivation for a new journey ahead."
