Hi, I’m Yaprak Nil!
I’m currently a 2nd-year student studying Economics at City, University of London. Originally from Turkey, I lived there until I started university here in the UK. Moving to London was a big change, but it has been an exciting journey full of new experiences and opportunities!
I’m passionate about finance and my goal is to work in the financial industry, with the dream of eventually owning my own company. City’s diverse community and strong focus on real-world skills have been helping me prepare for this future, and I’m excited to share my experiences with you.
Outside of academics, I love cooking and experimenting with new recipes. I’m also an avid reader and enjoy exploring different genres. Whether it’s discussing career paths, student life in London, or just finding the best study spots on campus, I’m here to help!
Feel free to ask me any questions about studying at City, University of London or anything else that’s on your mind!

Hi! I'm Audrey, a year 2 English Literature student from Hong Kong. My college is St. Mary's, and I highly recommend it - most of the friends I've made here are from Mary's as well, the community is very nice in general (I'm currently involved in the Book Club, but there are so many more societies!), and the cherry blossoms are beautiful in the spring.
