As an international student, you’ll enjoy the cheap environment and the small feel of the school. The international students office on the other hand are not helpful, my DSO was lazy, unwilling and very racist. I will recommend this school though. Good luck with your applications!
The experience was one to remember. Full of new opportunities to learn and network.
