I want to be that person who will stand up for you all in your troubles because I believe that if you don't fight for what you want, then don't cry over what you lost. Students are the voice; make the right choice.

 

Who am I:

I'm running to be the associate chairperson for international students, and my name is Kapil. I'm an MBA student. I was a senior activist at WWF, a professional boxer, and a fitness enthusiast, as well as a campaigner for Unicef.

 

What will i do as a associate chairperson:

1) Tution fee: We have noticed that all international students pay a 3X more tuition than domestic students. It is a significant load for a student from the middle class who only has enough money to survive, and I will try to reduce the tuition fee.

2) Cost of living: Every student spends at least £150 per week for housing, and the institution has only provided us with  £150 in aid. The majority of students reside in the Queen's accommodations, and we will advocate for a lower fee if management agrees.

3)Facilities-related additional fees: As a student who has already paid a sizable sum to the institution, I noticed that if they want to participate in activities like swimming, boxing, or other sports, they must pay an additional fee, which is unaffordable for the students.
