Name: Tristan Charrier
Age: 18
From: Samois-sur-Seine, France
Course: Industrial Design
Expectations: ‘I expect to have loads of fun this year, but also to do a lot of learning. One of the things I’m also looking forward to is to start doing some weightlifting in the Sportcentrum.’
Why Enschede: ‘The course looked really interesting and the campus looks great. It has a real American style, it is a bit like its own village.’
Room: ‘Check, I’ve got a room on campus.’
Name: Diana Usmanova
Age: 19
From: ‘I was born in Moscow, but I grew up in Essen, Germany.’
Course: Psychology
Expectations: ‘I’m very excited about the course and I can’t wait to start. Meeting new people is also something that I am looking forward to.’
Why Enschede: ‘In Germany your high school grades are very important if you want to get into a psychology program, but over here they don’t matter as much. Enschede is also relatively close, and The Netherlands has a cycling culture, which I really like.’
Room: ‘Right now, I am living in Gronau, but I’d prefer to live in Enschede itself. So, if someone knows a free room, let me know!’

Name: Kevin Rafael Indrawijaya
Age: 18
From: Sukabumi, Indonesia
Course: Creative Technology
Expectations: ‘A fun year in a completely new environment, and meeting a lot of new people.’

Room: ‘Yes.’
Name: Alexander Jacqot
Age: 17
From: Fontainbleau, France
Course: Electrical Engineering
Expectations: ‘I hope to have a lot of new experiences. Living alone is going to be cool, and I hope to prove myself on both an academic and physical level. I’m looking forward to work on my courses and do some sports like CrossFit and weightlifting.’
Why Enschede: ‘Enschede has all the things a large city has, but it feels a bit like a village. I’m not a big fan of big cities, so Enschede is the best of both worlds.’
Room:‘Yes, I’m have a room on campus.’
