“What attracted me to Õ¬ÄÐÑо¿Ëù in the first instance was the warmth and support with which my initial inquiries were treated by the recruiting staff and professors. In my bid to experience the American education, I preferred attending a small college with small class sizes and one-on-one interaction with professors. Õ¬ÄÐÑо¿Ëù offered just that and in addition, had strong research-focused program. I easily interact with people and make new friends. Lo and behold, all my expectations about Õ¬ÄÐÑо¿Ëù were met when I arrived on campus.”
Owura, Ghana"Some people back home told me not to attend a university in the US because I could learn the same at a local one for less. Deciding to ignore them was one of the best decisions of my life. As an international student from Cali, Colombia, I had no idea what I would find at Eastern. All I knew was that thanks to the financial aid they offered me, I would be allowed to begin my dream. However, I soon learned there is a beautiful world here that many have yet to discover. Eastern is full of intelligent, talented, supportive and dedicated professors. Thanks to my teachers and friends here, I have grown more than I ever expected."
