As an international Muslim student, I have been exposed to various life experiences. This year, I had to observe Ramadan in the UK, which is a vastly different experience from observing this holy month in my home country. Ramadan runs from March 22nd to April 21st, and I'd like to share a bit about what Ramadan entails. Ramadan is a sacred month for Muslims, a time for reflection, where Muslims abstain from eating and drinking during the daylight hours, and instead focus on prayer, purification, and acts of charity. At the end of this month, depending on the sighting of the moon, Muslims will celebrate Eid Ul Fitar. Mosques Mosques are central to the observance of this holy month, as the primary objective is to receive the blessings of Allah and devote as much time as possible to prayer. For those from Muslim countries, the absence of decorated mosques and special traweeh prayers is sorely missed. Ramadan in Northern Ireland is different due to the small Muslim population.

Packing tips as an international student I wish I knew before
So, I applied to university, received an offer letter, and got my visa. Everything is set in stone for me. Now comes the hard part- sorting out the pre-arrival checklist. Packing for university can be one of the hardest and most important stages of your journey. For me, I have no idea what to take or what I will need, so I decided to write down a checklist. This activity helped me a lot to remember things and saves a lot of time. After publishing the last post, I decided to share my foolproof tips with all other students for their upcoming travels.
while packing keep in mind the limited luggage space you will be granted on the aircraft. Most airlines grant 30 kg, but some put a limit of 23 to 25 kg( you can easily guess, I am the one with the lowest limit available 😑 ) I categorized my checklist as most essential, important, and least important things. This helped me to be extremely selective about what to bring.
Above is my modified list. I include those items in the list that, I don't bring and I wish I could know it before. you can use this list whether you are a student or going on an international trip. A very helpful packing tip is that use Organizer-Travel-Bags they are true space savers and your bag will be organized.
In the end, it all depends on how much luggage you are traveling with, you might decide to buy something from abroad or take them from home. Make your own checklist, depending on your needs based on the essentials previously mentioned.
Good luck to every student in future endeavours.
