“It is a great university and the staff is supportive. There is a lot of places to get help such as the tutoring center, writing center and faculty to help. If you can be focused and attend the classes regularly, you can surely succeed in your classes.” Sneh Pandya, India “Try new things and be adventurous! Don’t be afraid to challenge. You never know what you can achieve and what dreams come true until you try.” Kanna Innoue, Japan “I would advise to have an open mind to new experiences and be ready to be challenged in a more practical way than perhaps you were in high school. The skills that you will learn here are of huge benefit to your future career. Almost all professors have vast experiences of the industries in which they now teach, so listen up!” Diarmaid Fitzsimons, Ireland
