International education is an experience that will last a lifetime.
I came to the аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø with two suitcases, a carry on, and a dream of becoming a veterinarian. As a current student here I am not only learning the skills and knowledge needed to become an excellent veterinarian but am seeing new cultures, meeting new people, and getting an insight into a world which I had not experienced before. Being an international student at the аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø has been very rewarding for me so far. The friendships I am making and the knowledge I am gaining, and ultimately my degree in Veterinary Medicine, will not weigh down my luggage, but travel with me in my mind and heart forever.
