Enriching education and environment.

Tips: The college offers a welcoming and supportive environment with strong academics, smooth cultural transition, many part-time options and scholarships. However, at the same time, it's very difficult to find a post-study full-time job as an F1 visa holder, so one should remain patient, and it will truly pay off. Overall, I am very satisfied with my course and experience in the US.
