The most important thing that I see at Northeastern is that everybody is helpful. Sometimes I don't understand or I can't talk perfectly but everybody is trying to listen and understand me. Also it's hard to stay far away from family, but here I can feel more comfortable because everyone says, "Hello, how are you?", "How's it going?", to each other. That is perfect!
With encouragement from my concurrent enrollment connections, I have become heavily involved on campus and was elected to be the current Associative Student Government President along with other leadership roles.
Don't be scared and live the experience! You will learn a new language but also learn a new culture and this will help you grow.
