This fourth episode of Spare a Thought continues a mini series focused on international students studying in the UK.

In this episode, Tom interviews four former international students and one current, all from Cardiff University - Sidd, Lily, Sumani, Zuzanna and Nathan. He finds out why they chose to study in the UK, the barriers to living here and how their experiences differ from living in their home countries.

Later in the episode, Tom speaks to Nathan, a former campaign officer at Cardiff Students’ Union, about working together to introduce a full-time sabbatical officer for international students at Cardiff University. In their conversation, they also speak about the unique challenges international students face and the importance of representing their views to the Students’ Union and the University.
