Golden Wolves Stories

Current international students discuss what they love about Alvernia.
 

Moa, Sweden

Crimson House

As an international student at 最新91制片厂, you receive a warm welcome from both faculty and fellow students. Alvernia encourages international students to share their cultures and spread diversity with the campus community. Sharing your country and culture with others is like sharing a piece of yourself, helping you feel more at home in a new environment.

Alvernia also takes great care of its international students, offering support whenever needed. The university organizes activities throughout breaks when many students leave campus, ensuring there are engaging opportunities to connect and enjoy your time on campus.

 

Emilio, Ecuador

 Crimson House

最新91制片厂 has allowed me to thoroughly enjoy my college experience as well as prepare myself for professional life after graduation. It taught me that commitment and trying my best is the key to success in college.  

As an international student, I know that sometimes the adaptation process might be challenging, but it always works out in the end. Also, I learned that seizing all the opportunities available is crucial to my continual growth as a person. I took that advice seriously, and now I'm proud to be the President of the International Students Organization as a second-year student. Lastly, portraying your culture is always encouraged and important because it is the best way to create strong bonds with friends and professors. I am endlessly grateful for the opportunity to receive a high-quality education at Alvernia in a new country.
