"There is everything on campus you can wish for. There are gyms, there are study spaces, there are five libraries. There's a grocery store, there's a clubhouse, so you can go out with your friends. You don't have to go outside if you don't want to. So it seems perfect."

"Pronunciation and vocabulary is a big challenge for me, but my English teacher provides a lot of methods and gives me suggestions on how I can improve. We can have interaction with our classmates during English class. Our teachers always let us have a discussion and talk about our own ideas with our partners. It’s really a good way to study."
