 My name is Tekken Goomba. I come from Cameroon. I am currently doing my PhD at the Department of Information and Media Studies at Orhos University. How would you like to be the first African student at Media Science? I think it's a great honor for me. It's both a sense of subtle pride and also a sense of feeling a great challenge. I think a great honor because it feels good to be recognized as the first African PhD student. A great subtle pride because you know you carry a lot of responsibility also on you and that's the challenge where you know what you do, might be used to gauge other African students coming to the department. So it's a combination of this subtle pride and also this sense of challenge. The first remarkable thing one would note about relationship between students and professors in Orhos University is a very very significant level of informality. For students who have studied for the most part of your life in the system similar to this it might not be different but for somebody like me who was coming from the University of Boya in Cameroon and also from broader parts in Africa I think it's different to see this sense of informality. There's no sense of clear hierarchy between professors and students. You don't call them even professors. You call them by their names which is unique I think. So it's an informality which I have always maintained should be cherished by the students but which must not be abused of course. I think the administrative support in the University it's great. It's improving by the day at least compared to when I first came here in 2006. They have dedicated staff there who seem to be that especially foreign students like me. We now have at least in the level of faculty of humanities international help desk where what they do principally is they are there to cater for the needs and concerns of the international researchers who are studying in Orhos University. They organize a lot of activities for us. They organize get to know Orhos programs where they make you really feel at home away from home and then you could contact them if you have practical problems regarding immigration, regarding how do you go about this in the university as well. So I think it's a great support which is in place for foreign students coming to Orhos University in particular. I think if I can characterize Orhos University in a few words I think this is a great university which has a multidisciplinary approach to higher education. It gives you an environment which lets you explore the extent of your potentials and also it gives you almost this every facility you need to do your research and very few campuses do this and I really appreciate this fact that Orhos University has sort of distinguished itself from the lot in this regard. Do you have an advice to future PhD students at the university? I think the first advice I will give and maybe the one main advice I will give future PhD students who intend to come to the university is that this is a great place and what they might need to come with is an open mind. That's the first thing, come with an open mind and then to also make sure that you come with both an open mind and a prepared mind to tap into the invaluable resources that you meet here both human and material.
