Personal Stories
The best experience was networking with research lovers, or I may call them truth finders. I loved the safe environment and in-classes discussions and the passion to make a difference. I enjoyed working with a supportive, enthusiastic mentor. I really appreciate being able to meet and learn from extraordinary scientists.

Being an international scholar may also be an amenity in the sense that you are given a chance to live, learn, bloom, grow, share, and contribute all the unique lived experience that only you possess and collect over a passage of time. You live with you. You get an amazing opportunity to know you. I think being away from home is enriching.
