This week, we’re chasing that UK dream — and giving our friend Loro a crash course on studying and surviving life abroad before he flies off for his uni exchange.

From culture shocks and homesickness to Malaysian student clubs, finding community, picking up random side quests, and even meeting your favourite YouTubers — we’re unpacking what it really feels like to be a Malaysian student in the UK.

You might wanna sit down for this deep dive into the student life, identity shifts, and everything in between.
