My Experience of SCU

Hello Good morning everyone, 

I hope you all are well. The news back home Nepal and especially India does not sound promising. I hope we recover very soon from this pendamic. 

Its been an amazing experience so far at SCU. I feel really overwhelmed by the support that I have received from this university in many factors such as fee installements and many more. This platform where I am sharing my article SCUnited, has been a amazing medium to share the insights and care to SCU family.

I uploaded a music video file back a month earlier, which was not that good, but the support was always there, everyone with positive and motivating comments over there. Furthermore, I just shared the article few days earlier on my journey to Australia, and then the feeback was also similar to earlier one.

I feel great to part of this family. The confidence that you guys have provided has given me motivation to do more better. Thank you everyone, we will rise together and beat this pendamic. 

Stay Safe,

Cheers

Prabin Baral
