Quotes from International students

I went around asking International students, what it feels like to be an International student at Trinity University and below are their responses.

Miroslav Getov from Bulgaria,
“I feel like I am in a very accepting place, both because of the number of international students and of the tolerant attitude of everybody else towards me.
I always know that there is somebody I can relate to.
I feel enriched by the chance Trinity gave me to come into contact with people from so many different cultures.
I feel there is no segregation between internationals and Americans, although I do feel closer to the internationals - it is as we share a secret only we know.”

                                            


Nellin Njovu from Tanzania,
“Learning abroad, responsibilities too soon”

                                              

Asavari Jalan from India,
“Being an International student at Trinity is very enriching yet challenging at the same time, but I must admit that Trinity was prepared for us and welcomed each and everyone us well.”

                                                          

Thavindra Ekanayake from Sri Lanka,
“My experience as an International student in Trinity University so far has been very positive. For me the best part about being here is that I get the opportunity to make friends from students all over the world. I have become friends with students from Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Ecuador, and India...etc. This makes the Trinity experience more exciting and enjoyable.”

                                                  

Alex Serikali from Tanzania,
“Being an international student means getting the chance to learn a whole new culture you are not used to. As time goes by, you get used to it though. Being an International student also gives me a chance to live an experience of living thousands of hundreds of miles away from my family and home, it is not any easy encounter, not at all!! One American student admits he wouldn’t be able to live that far away from home, he can barely stay on campus on the weekends.”

Mai Dang from Vietnam
“It has been a wonderful experience studying at Trinity University. Here I find everybody including students, professors and even the President so friendly that I have had no trouble adapting to college life.”

      Finally, although it’s been a very welcoming experience, everything comes with its costs and benefits and certainly from most of the International students, the benefits outweigh the costs. On behalf, of all international students, we are all very grateful that we are here.
