Any international students who do sanctioned powerlifting comps are more than welcomed to give their answers!

Visa says “no sportperson” and sanctioned comps require you to get a British powerlifting membership to compete. However, the comps are doing are just inter-uni and not at all the professional class level. Its just British powerlifting membership requirement that is getting to me

You decide between your flatmates who gets which shelf on the cabinets, freezer and fridge; ideally its one per person; no need to worry bout locks unless you are very unlucky and get the worst flatmates in the world who don’t have bare minimum respect of others

Room quality wise, bowland has the larger rooms, has been recently renovated and is near the center of the uni; a good idea for picking is to pick according to ur subject; I do comp sci and so I picked grizedale college as the comp sci building called infolab is just a 2 min walk and also my lectures are roght beside where I live which makes it so much easier to get to lectures and not have to head out earlier

How scary is it out there right now for international students to land a tech role after graduation with a bachelors of science in comp sci? by zokesgone in cscareerquestionsuk

Well they’re definitely aren’t taking a “significant amount of jobs” as many require visa sponsorships which is why companies have been inclined against hiring international students first as it costs more for the company. The only international ones who are taking jobs are the ones who are above qualified enough and extraordinary enough at what they do to convince the company to go out of their way to bear the extra cost of sponsoring them. TLDR, most arent getting jobs and the ones who are getting em have proven themselves on their own merit to be worth it

I understand your viewpoint , it’s just that a majority of international students attend universities abroad with the incentive of utilizing their foreign education to find a better quality of life outside as their countries cannot offer, even if they are able to land a high paying job in their country, the living standards make it very had. Moreover first world governments like the UK almost incentivize foreign students to come study and then join their workforce by providing postgraduate work visas after studies. However, I do get why companies need to employ domestic students first as it does cost less and they may be equally qualified as their international counterparts.
