“I’m majoring in engineering and I chose to start my college education at the Fox Cities campus of UW Oshkosh because my sister attended this campus. People are very nice, friendly and understanding. Although I am from another country, people accept me. This has been a very interesting experience to attend college in a different country.  Try it while you are young!”
