We screamed on the rollercoaster at Six Flags and were touched by Broadway shows.

Cathy is a senior Accounting major from China. She is currently the Treasurer of the iClub at Felician University. Cathy chose Felician University because of the small classes and the ability to have professors and classmates know your name. “At Felician University, we learn and we have fun,” says Cathy. “I love the way we learn and how our knowledge can be practiced in real life.” Cathy also mentions that she loves the amazing programs that are offered by the Office of International Programs. “We shared culture by holding China and Korea nights; we screamed on the rollercoaster at Six Flags and were touched by Broadway shows.” Isn’t it amazing that you can do all of these things with someone who shares a different worldview? Cathy thinks so.

I’ve only been here for a short time yet I have learned so much

Noora AlBassam came from Saudi Arabia to study English in the ACES program in Spring 2012. She will be matriculating at Felician University in January 2013 and plans to be a Psychology major.

The best part for me was meeting other international students and I am looking forward to meeting American students as well,” says Noora. “I’ve only been here for a short time yet I have learned so much and I would tell my friends back home that if you have the opportunity you should take advantage of attending Felician University.”

As an international student, I can say that my professors went out of their way to help me.

Ahmed is earning his Master’s Degree in Special Education at Felician University. Ahmed, a graduate student from Saudi Arabia, chose to attend Felician University for our good teachers and facilities, beautiful environment and friendly and helpful students. “I have been given so many opportunities to learn and grow as a professional. As an international student, I can say that my professors went out of their way to help me, and are always patient and understanding whenever I need anything,” says Ahmed. Ahmed’s favorite part about being in New Jersey is experiencing the change of seasons. In Saudi Arabia, the climate is relatively the same all year long. He loves the sights, sounds and smells of all of the different seasons!

I chose to attend Felician because of the ease of getting into New York City...and the UN Fellowship

Solsem, an exchange student from the Catholic University of Korea studying International Relations and English Literature, chose to attend Felician University for one year because of the ease of getting into New York City and the opportunity to participate in the UN Fellows Program. Her experience in the classroom was “very challenging at first, but the professors and classmates were very patient and helpful.
