I chose to study at HELP University because it is an excellent opportunity for me to gain knowledge at a top-level institution. HELP University has allowed me to not just open up to new cultures but also to gain various types of perspectives. I adore how the staffs and lecturers here are very outgoing and humble. They are always open to lend a hand and are very flexible when comes to discussion with students considering the fact it is all virtual learning now due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I love how we have lots of conversations in and out of class. HELP University is not only an academical place to me, but it is my family. We are all bonded by love, faith and understanding

It has been a great year since I've joined the Faculty of Arts & Communication. Lecturers and fellow mates are very friendly, which makes my journey a lot more fun. On top of that, they even push me out of my comfort zone to do better in every task given. The environment here is wondrous, and I know I can always reach out to anyone if I need them. The faculty does make me feel at home. It is a family. I do cherish the memories I've spent here with them..

The lecturers are very helpful when we ask for assistance and advice in terms of our studies. Being able to experience how film production works is also a plus point of being a student at HELP University.

Upon entering the Faculty of Arts and Communication in HELP University, I felt very welcomed and supported. All this is thanks to the friendly staff, students, and lecturers! Apart from making wonderful friends, I have had the opportunities to gain real-world, practical experience through the activities in clubs, such as Creative Productions Society and Radio Club. I am more than grateful to have pursued my education here.

English isn’t my primary language of communication, so when I joined HELP University, I was very much aware of the language barrier. I was a little worried, but contrary to what I thought, I made some really good friends who are from diverse backgrounds. I’m also thankful for the non-academic platforms the Faculty provided, such as student clubs, where I could improve my soft skills.
The first step was me stepping out of my comfort zone, but that would not have been possible without the right learning atmosphere. I am thankful that the Faculty provided a conducive environment for me to learn and enhance my skills.
