Tuuli is a 19-year-old international
student from Finland's capital city Helsinki. After graduating from the upper
secondary school, she applied to UC to earn her bachelor's degree in
International Studies. Tuuli wanted to have a special experience, which is why
she wanted to come to the U.S. She also plays on the UC women's soccer team.
Experiences at UC so far
"It's been wonderful, since
I've seen so many things here," Tuuli says. She has learned a lot about
the American culture, people and college life, as well as traveled to different
places and the biggest cities around Utica. "It has really opened my
eyes," she says. Tuuli has also made some really good friends here, and
improved her English skills.
The living environment differs a lot
from her home country. According to Tuuli, here are four things that she misses
the most:
·
Speaking her own language and
understanding everything.
·
Her family and how they take care of
everything.
·
Food!
·
City life.
"I've met some amazing people,
both international and American, who have made my stay here amazing. We have
the best international student advisers who are always there for us. Even if UC
is small for me, it's a great place to spend a few years of my life!"
