NANDINY

Hello! My name is Mithila Nandiny Shome, but feel free to call me Nandiny. I am from Bangladesh. Right now I am studying Bachelor in Biology at FU in my 5th semester. Before this, I studied medicine in Ukraine for three years. Unfortunately, I couldn't continue studying there due to the war. The language of instruction for my study is German, and I speak five languages: Bengali (my mother tongue), English, Hindi, Ukrainian, and German.

I have a deep passion for traveling and discovering new cultures. Over the past few years, I have traveled to many countries across Asia and Europe, which has allowed me to build a diverse network of friends and mentors from all over the world. This has taught me that, in today’s globalised world, we’re all connected like a small village and inspired me to embrace diversity and learn from different perspectives.

My journey at FU has been full of challenges, but each one has been a valuable learning experience. Navigating academic pressures or adapting to the academic expectations at FU or introducing to a new life in a new country, I've faced it all! Coming to an unknown city like Berlin can be overwhelming at first, but I believe we can solve this problem together. There are so many amazing places to discover here, from hidden cafés to beautiful parks and lively cultural spots. Let’s explore FU and Berlin together! 

In my peer mentoring group, I focus on creating a supportive and comfortable environment where everyone can learn from each other, wether If you're facing challenges with your study or language, or simply finding your way around, I’m here to help you. Let’s share experiences, grow together, and make this journey at FU a little bit easier and a lot more enjoyable.
