The first impression is always the most important of all impressions and I could not get a better one from the IEI here at the University of Illinois. Since I walked into the IEI on the first registration day, everything has worked so well. It gives you a feeling of trust, such a nice thing in a foreign country so far from home.
The academic experience has been great. Teachers are excellent and they really know how to handle their classes. Class culture is very relaxing but at the same time challenging. But everything is not just studying; meeting new friends from all around the world has been another interesting element of my experience. With all these new friends, I have shared nice moments in class and done some extra social activities like Convo Table and the Welcome Picnic.
Furthermore, this is not just the IEI and its academic and social activities; this is the University of Illinois. Its campus seems just huge to me. This great size includes an excellent variety of interests.
To summarize, I am very glad I came here to study because I really have learned a lot and I have met so many great people. I am sure that in the future I will remember my experience here as one of the best of my life.
