Hi! My name is Misan Omatseye and I have recently graduated from the University of Warwick. I moved to the UK from Nigeria in year 7 and started off as a day student before moving into full-time boarding in year 9. At school, I was passionate about all things musical theatre and had a great time pursuing extra-curricular activities in that space. I also had a strong interest in current affairs which ultimately led me to pursue a degree in Politics, Philosophy and Law. I also enjoy reading, travelling, and exploring new cultures. I am very happy to offer guidance to students planning on studying in the UK. Please feel free to reach out!

What was the biggest challenge you faced adapting to boarding school?:  

Settling into a new enviornment and routine was initially challenging, but having friends who were also navigating the same changes made the adjustment more fun.
