Meet Bidhan Ghimiray, a final year student of Royal Thimphu College. He participated in the Erasmus+ student exchange mobility program, completing an academic year at Centre College in the US.

“Enrolling at Royal Thimphu College to study Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Sociology is without a doubt the best decision I have ever made. On the first day of college orientation, I was told ‘Your past academic performance does not matter to us at RTC.’ I had doubts about it, however, within a short period of time, the average Joe emerged as a high-achieving student! The icing on the cake was the exchange programme to study at Centre College in Kentucky, USA. This was a dream come true! The experience was truly enriching and transformative. I experienced diverse cultures and interacting with professors from various backgrounds truly expanded and broadened my perspective. Studying at RTC taught me how to excel in life and how to believe in myself.”
