 I'm Dixin, I'm from Malaysia and I'm currently studying Masters of Architecture in Calamity campus. I'm really passionate about sustainability. I get to do, get to practice and get to be taught by the professors that are into it. And that's why I'm here. My favourite thing studying at Newcastle University is to be able to mingle with the professors. They are more to the passive type of architecture and more sustainable. And they have so much hands-on experience in the field that just intrigues me every time I speak to them. That's what I always look forward to when I come to the uni. In Sudanese, it's just amazing where you can just create a speculative project that actually works in real life. It's not just speculation but incorporating practically. It's the eye-opening experience where we get to be exposed to real architecture that are normally seen in books. We got a big workshop in the uni and it's shared by different schools. But access to laser cutters, 3D printers and whatever tools we can find like CNC machines. And it just helps us to be more of a hands-on making student rather than more of a conceptual. And when we start making models and things like that, it's a beautiful experience. The people here are definitely friendly. They are just amazing people. Like one of the friendliest place I have been. And no matter where you go, you get to meet people and talk to them, chat with them. It just feels like family.
