Hello, everyone. My name is Akerke, and I'm from Kazakhstan. Currently, I'm a first-year master's student at the Italian university La Sapienza, and I owe this opportunity to the Apply Italy team.

In reality, I had dreamt about studying in Italy since I was around 13 or 14 years old. I always wanted to study international relations or a field related to politics, and that's exactly how it turned out. Thanks to the Apply Italy team, I successfully enrolled in the program and country I desired.

However, I faced quite a few challenges along the way. I couldn't apply on my own because all the Italian university websites were in Italian, and I couldn't figure out which documents I needed, when to submit them, and whether I needed to take video interviews or tests. I overcame all of these obstacles with the help of the team.

I found them quite by chance while scrolling through TikTok. I came across a girl who soon became my guide, both during the application process and after my arrival in Italy. The experience here has been even better than I had imagined because people are incredibly welcoming to students and tourists.

Italy offers a wonderful atmosphere, beautiful scenery, tourist attractions, and cities to explore. Now, I can travel, and it's all thanks to the Apply Italy team for helping me gather all my documents and meet deadlines.

I want to express my heartfelt thanks. Join us in pursuing your dreams!
