Three international students from INTI International University & Colleges have refused to put their education dream on hold despite the travelling restrictions and inability to be on campus. Rameel, Karen and Avion share their virtual learning experiences with INTI from their homes so far and what they hope for their future once the pandemic is over.


Mohammad Rameel Zuberi, a Pakistani student currently pursuing his Diploma in Business in INTI International University, shares that he initially had a hard time selecting his university of choice before eventually hearing about INTI.

“After a counsellor told me about INTI, I read some reviews online and I asked a few of my friends who were already studying in INTI about the university. They had nothing but good words about the institution, so all things considered, I felt like INTI was the right choice for me,” shared Rameel.

Meanwhile, Karen Grace Sutoto, an Indonesian student pursuing her Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, shares that ever since she has enrolled into INTI, it has admittedly been a little stressful for her since she was initially unfamiliar with the subjects, teachers and assignments.

However, she said that she has grown to appreciate INTI’s online learning experience over time, along with her lecturers’ hard work and dedication who constantly ensures she receives all the support she needs.

“There are also interesting and informative webinars I have found on INTI’s online learning platform, which I’ve found very helpful in expanding my knowledge. Plus, I love that online learning allows me the flexibility to manage my own schedule at home,” said the 16-year-old.

For Avion Armando Filipe, who is currently pursuing his Bachelors in Applied Sciences from his home in Kuwait, shared that despite not meeting his classmates or educators physically, he still feels connected to them.

“I truly appreciate how well things are planned and arranged for us on Blackboard, INTI’s learning management system and that everything is scheduled very well. Thanks to modern technology like Blackboard, we are able to still pursue our academic dream smoothly and hassle-free,” said Armando.

He continued, “It’s a wonderful tool to ensure we are able to stay safe during the midst of this pandemic, while also continuing our tertiary education.
