It was a great experience, I made a lot of fiends and the academic life was amazing. The content was truly valuable, I had the opportunity to learn about new topics. As I consider myself as a really curious and eager to learn person, this really participated to the fact that I enjoyed this experience. The student life was vibrant, I learnt a lot of things from other students and from the professors. It truly added knowledge and experience to my academic and associative journey. I took part of different clubs, which became really important throughout my experience. This, I highly recommend.

It was an incredibly inclusive and informative programme. I had a lot of fun and got a chance to make a lot of friends. The studies are serious but not too rigorous, so you are left with a free time to be able to do other activities. It is helpful to build a resume as well. The kinds of experiences I had were good. Even the professors and teaching staff were helpful with any query. I also got to eat new food and learn interesting things about the culture. I would recommend this programme to my peers.

All I can say after this program is that I wanted to stay here more than I had. It never felt enough because there was just so much to do here. I was always doing something that made me really happy and helped me relax. It was a little difficult adjusting to a new place but you get the hang of it early. I loved the program's curriculum and it definitely aligned with what I want to do in the future. Speaking of the future I think this program makes you future ready. The skills I learnt here are better than what was taught to me over years earlier. Overall it was a great time.

It's been 3 years at Ashoka and I still am not bored. Everyday is a special day where university is hosting festivals and engaging the student body. Weekends are the best, you can choose to either engage yourself in academic immersions that take place or have some fun at tests.

There is no sports thats not available here, you can get into the team and compete in in-numerous tournaments with all neighboring universities and also universities across India.

There are so many clubs and societies to take part in or create one of your own if you intend to. Ashoka gives a full round experience to someone who wants to learn and also have fun.

Ashoka is one of those places that sounds too good on paper, so you go in skeptical. Then you actually get there.

The six-week VSP lets you take up to two courses from a genuinely interesting list: Indian Civilizations, International Geopolitics, Visual Storytelling, Philosophy of Love. But the classroom is almost secondary to everything happening around it. Somewhere between your first and second class, you get lunch, and by evening you are sitting on the main lawn with people you met three days ago, debating your assignment like you have known each other for years. That is just a Tuesday.

The best way to describe life at Ashoka is that it is always happening. You are housed with Ashoka students, not other internationals, which means your social circle does not just become a smaller version of home. You are sharing a room, sharing meals, sharing the weird in-between hours with people whose lives look very different from yours. That is the part nobody puts in the brochure, but everybody remembers.

The library is open 24/7, food outlets stay open until 4 AM, and there is no curfew. Nights at Ashoka have a life of their own. Weekends are for Delhi, which is 30 minutes away by shuttle and metro, and overwhelming in the best possible way.

Six weeks sounds short, but it goes fast.
