Meet Ano, student and hockey player from Zimbabwe
When I started looking at universities, I wasn’t just thinking about the course. I wanted more than just lectures and libraries. Back home, I played hockey every week. I loved the energy and the team spirit. So my parents and I searched for a place that valued sport and study.
