Why did you choose St. Thomas?

I chose St. Thomas because it is a small-sized private university with a vivid campus life. At St. Thomas, what I learn is not only about how to study, but also about how to use my knowledge to practice in the real world. Every class I take here is practical, preparing me for the future.

What do you like best about St. Thomas?

I like the professors here best. They are always trying their best to answer any kinds of questions that I have. They are my teachers, but my friends as well.

What do you like about being a student in the Twin Cities area?

I think the Twin Cities are a nice place to live, neither too gigantic nor too small. It offers me a chance to get involved in the chaotic city life, but also a quiet campus life to study.

What campus activities are you involved in?

I am involved in a variety of campus acitvities. Some are related to my business majors, such as accounting club and marketing club. Some are based on my ethnicity, such as Globally Minded Student Association and HANA.

What advice would you give to prospective international students?

I think, as an international student, one of the most important qualities is confidence. Living in an exotic country, we will definitely experience a process from unfamiliar to familiar. Confidence can help us to get used to and get involved into our new life quickly. I think all of will have a fantastic experience at St. Thomas.
