Testimonials
When you’re an international student, you’re looking for a home rather than just a university. And, it just felt like it was going to be comfortable, nice and supportive. That's why I decided to come here. It ended up being just how I imagined.
Kristina Radovic
Serbia, Finance
These four-and-a-half years, they have helped me so much personally and professionally. I’ve learned so much from the people I’ve met, the faculty and staff, the tennis team. Even though I don’t have family there, the support they’ve given me has been everything.
Valentina Pabon
Columbia, ‘22 BA Marketing, Finance, Operations Management
I would tell international students to see the difference between our different cultures. You’ll study a lot of things. You’ll have a lot of experience. It’s helpful for you. I really love to live here.
Xu “Lilac” Kanjun
China, ‘22 BA Interior Design
Try to make as many local friends as possible, that way you get the best of both worlds. You have your friends from home and you have your local friends.
