I can say with certainty that ISEG is home and that's where I'll spend the best years of my life. All the students welcomed me with open arms and were completely willing to help me with anything I needed. They immediately made me realize that the unity and friendship they had shown each other at the open day was completely genuine and not just a way of convincing students to apply to ISEG. From the first day at ISEG I felt a sense of belonging, I felt part of a big family straight away.
