The facilities are great, but what I like the most here
is the department is not very big,
so you actually get to know all your professors
and all the students.
It's always familiar faces and even the professors
know your name, know who you are,
what you do and what you're planning.
That really helps, because you feel like a family.
We have planned every dance,
and you always get to see the same students.
When you get here, everybody is basically in the same situation
where everybody is new and you don't have your family here
and you don't know what it's like to study here
and other stuff.
You support each other and you're in the same situation,
so everybody is kind of really close to each other.
There are many resources; everybody is willing to help;
they listen to you and, especially, they respect you.
They listen to what you have to say,
and that's very valuable, I believe.
You don't really know what to expect when you get here.
So I feel the ISC is like a very good first step
to get to know what it's going to be like.
They teach you how the system works, what are you going
to expect from it, what you should be doing to succeed.
So I think it's very good to get used to
this whole new American education life.
I'd recommend it for sure.
