Currently I’m majoring in Statistics and Mathematics, with a minor in French, at the University of Rochester.
This university is ideal, it’s a good environment and the students are very kind. I can pursue my studies here very quietly and just enjoy my college time.
I have to recommend Chris, my favourite advisor, he always encouraged me to push hard and to study hard to transfer here, and he always answered a lot of questions — especially those about the transfer process. Also, they had workshops to help you overcome culture shock and teach you how to study in the USA and create a good relationship with the professors. Universities in America are very different to the ones my friends learned in China — they have barely anything to do during the semester, they only have to focus on the final exams. Here we have to focus on every (piece of) homework and every project and every presentation as they all count as part of the final grade. American university really teaches you how to study by yourself, that’s how I feel about it.
