International students share their reasons for coming to PSU
Issue date: 10/9/08 Section: Campus Life
My college in China is very different from Pittsburg. Back in China we only have one test each semester for each class, we don't have so many tests like here in Pittsburg. Also there aren't as many people here in the United States as there are in China so it's less crowded and most students in China spend their time studying in the library."

I wanted to study in the United States, so I looked on the Internet and found Pittsburg State University. Later I found out how great the college was, and how cheap the tuition was so I came here."

I have had a great time here at Pittsburg State University so far. I found out about PSU through my college back in China. The College of Technology and Science has a good relationship with PSU. They exchange international students very often."

I have found there is a big difference between the colleges in Saudi Arabia vs. the one here in the United States. The classes are easier and they never use scantron sheets for tests back home. Because I am going to get a degree from Pittsburg State University I will be able to get a better job and a better salary than if I went to a college in Saudi Arabia."

I found out about Pittsburg State University through a United States Education Fair. I decided to go to Pitt because of the smaller town atmosphere and there would be less distractions for me."

My friend recommended Pittsburg State University to me. There are many differences between colleges here and colleges in India. We can have two majors back in India, we are more specialized and just take classes in our major."
