I’m Eliza, I’m from Russia and my major
is musical theatre.
I think musical theater is really developed
here so I decided to come to the USA.
The USA is a really special place for me because
I always felt like I’m really attached to
people here.
The society is absolutely different from society
in my country, it always was about people,
the environment.
I had a really great experience studying and
talking with professors, everyone is really
polite and respectful to me and of course,
the most important part is an education.
I feel like, right now I’m a freshman and
it’s the first month of the educational
process.
I feel like it’s more communicating with
others and getting involved with the process
of education and people are trying to help
you with that firstly, but I feel like it's
going to be much more different and then it’s
going to be like a second semester.
I’m a part of the Madison International
program, it’s a one year program which allows
you to communicate with domestic students
more.
So I live in Hoffman Hall and it’s location
on campus is really close to every building
where classes are, so it’s really convenient
to be there and, of course, I have a lot of
American students on my floor.
Americans are really friendly, they want to
communicate with you, they want to know more
about your culture.
