Theatre Production and Design Graduation year: December , intended Working on an accelerated track to complete degree a year early. I want to learn from the people in the US and share my experiences with them.

I believe you can achieve what you want with hard work and effort. And I believe you must know how to serve others, because you must first be an employee to be a good employer.

The most surprising discovery for me has been the similarities between our cultures. I grew up watching American movies and television shows since I was six years old—it was how I learned English—so many things are familiar to me already. There are no challenges when you go to another country to study—only opportunities! For many years I dreamed of coming to the United States to study, but then my father passed away and I had to work to care for my siblings.

But with hard work and careful planning, I finally made it. And with the support and encouragement of my faculty mentor, I am pursuing my passion for the theater…a passion that will never stop! I chose to study in the US for several reasons. The most important one was that I knew the education I would receive was not only what I could learn from the textbook and in class, but also the dots I could connect with the real world professional fields.

The culture here and the way people approach a problem in the US are very different than my home country, and I thought I could also learn to use an alternative method or a totally different perspective to look at things. And by doing so, it could possibly help me get to a better and more well-rounded solution when facing a problem in the future.

I love the unlimited resources that I got from NC State! The teaching faculty here on campus were extremely helpful, and the professors really devoted their time and effort on me. They interacted with me not just to explain the learning materials or going through teaching slides, but offered me a lot of future career advice, such as how to approach things in a professional manner.

Those were the things that I could carry on with me in the long term, and they definitely helped me differentiate myself among my peers when I started to work.

There are more campus activities than you can imagine. No matter which clubs you want to join, things you want to volunteer for, or new subjects you want to learn on your own—they take up all your time. Therefore, the most challenging thing for me was never having enough time!

Learning to prioritize different tasks and allocate limited time for various projects were very challenging to me at the beginning, but as time went on, I built great time-management skills. My advice for other international students is to take advantage of the resources you can get on campus and build your network from day one. But slowly I learned that all I needed to do was to ask, because everyone was there to help me.

Economics and Mathematics Graduation year: I was very interested in engaging in research as an intrinsic part of my college experience, and I wanted a college that provided diverse global perspectives to expand my horizons. At University of South Florida, your education exists all around you. All across campus are opportunities to grow stronger in mind, body and spirit. Attend an art exhibit in the Center Gallery.
