International Student Success Story
Elena arrived in Dubai in September 2024 with basic programming knowledge but no game development experience. She was initially overwhelmed by the visa process and finding suitable accommodation.
Through our support program, she secured her student visa within five weeks and found a shared apartment in Al Karama that fit her budget perfectly. The biggest challenge was adjusting to the time zone differences for staying in touch with family.
Application & Visa Process
Applied in June 2024, received visa approval in July. Found housing through our accommodation partner network.
First Semester Challenges
Struggled with advanced programming concepts but found study groups helpful. Adapted to Dubai's climate and culture.
Current Progress
Now developing her second mobile game project and mentoring newer international students with visa questions.
