Student profile (Arabic)
Student name: Ms Lodi KHALIL (1001982, Lebanon)
Enrolment: Bachelor of Hospitality Management
Biography:
My name is Lodi. I am studying in the Bachelor of Hospitality Management at NMIT. I enjoy my study at NMIT as I have received a lot of support from the staff members here. At the beginning I was not so sure what course or which education provider to choose, but now I am so glad that I made the right choice in NMIT and the Bachelor of Hospitality Management. The in-campus prayers room is quiet and tidy and it is always open to students for use. My lecturers have been so flexible about my special requirements in terms of food (wine) handling in my studies. Now I am getting really excited about the industry practicum in the coming semester!
