My English name is Tanzi Tan.
I am from China, and I'm graduating with BBA
degree.
I learned a lot from JMU, from the ISC courses,
and that greatly helped me to become outgoing
person and take initiative to apply for anything
that I wanted.
I think it's not only a friendly place but
it also gives us a lot of motivation, all
of faculty, all of friends, all of the facility
resources on campus help students to be successful.
I feel like there are two great things about
the ISC.
First, is because the students were in the
environment the ISC created for international
students, we are all international students,
and we get familiar with each other, we understand
the difficulties that we are facing.
And the second thing is because of instructors.
They know about international students and
they know how to approach international students.
CGE offered the conversation partner program
which paired up one international student
with another American student.
They were interested in learning Chinese culture
and language, and that was when I felt like
the program put me in an equal position
with the American students.
