“For me, moving to the U.S. was like starting a new life. Everything was new, from the people and friends to the environment and classes. I gained a lot of experience and improved my English a lot, which is a good thing. Being in the U.S. you can meet a lot of people from different cultures. You can learn from them and learn how they run businesses in their countries.”

“

My classes at Adelphi are helping me to analyze problems from different perspectives and view problems in a new light. I think I am learning how to tackle problems more critically and systematically, which is a skill that I can take with me for the rest of my life.

Ciara (Linghua), China

“

One of the main reasons I chose Adelphi is because of location. Adelphi University's location in Garden City is very peaceful and quiet, which helps us to keep our focus on studying. But, if you want to go to Manhattan and enjoy the business atmosphere or do something fun in the city, it is very convenient.

Shaun (Zhiyi), China

“

At Adelphi University, opportunities will come to you if you if you take the time to search them out. If you’re not doing well in a course, you can go to a professor and ask for help and they will guide you to the right way. They all are very understanding and won’t let you fail.

Usman, Pakistan

“

I would like to learn new skills, discover different perspectives, engage, and experience a new way of thinking. Coming to Adelphi has been a life-changing, world-altering experience for me and I hope to help fellow international students to acclimatize best to our programs and university through being an active member of the community.

Kajal, India

“

There are big differences between the educational system in America and what we have back home. Back at home, there is this gap between the student and the professors, but in the U.S you get more of a connection with your professors.

Sayo, Nigeria

“

I have received resume support and interview support, which were both very helpful as an international student. I was better prepared to answer the type of questions that U.S employers ask, and I think all of this support really helped me to get placed in my summer internships.
