Student Spotlight

SDSU has made me feel like part of the community and has provided me with multiple opportunities to get involved on campus. I have connected with other international students who are going through the same changes as I am, making my adjustment here feel easier, and have been given multiple opportunities, such as jobs and internships, that will better prepare me for my future after graduation.
