I decided to attend Kent State University based on the positive relationships Kent State has made with its international students. As I first stepped onto the campus, I immediately noticed how friendly and welcoming the people were – students, faculty and staff. Kent State's large, diverse campus appealed to me greatly. I recall how enthusiastic my academic advisors were to help me adjust to life not only at Kent State, but also in the U.S.
