Meet UC Internationals: Abdullah Al Robian, Saudi Arabia

Since he was a child, Abdullah wanted to study in the U.S. Finally, when the opportunity came by, he took the rains and made it happen. Today, he couldn’t be happier about it!

This is Abdullah’s third year in the States, and he is enjoying every moment of it. However, it hasn’t been easy all the time. “I think it’s the culture and the lifestyle that are totally different here and in Saudi Arabia,” he said. The most difficult thing for him has been to discover himself and to define his identity in the new environment. He also feels that representing his country is important.


Abdullah has done a great job adjusting to the American culture, and he has made some really good friends here. Even though the school keeps him quite busy, Abdullah enjoys spending time, doing sports and socializing with his friends. After graduating from UC, Abdullah is planning to go back to Saudi Arabia, and start work within the media. As a sports fan, the sports field might also be an option.

Study Abroad!

In Abdullah’s opinion, the best things about UC are the qualified professors and the educational system that the college uses. When asked about something he wanted to share with everyone, he said, “Study abroad is the best experience anyone can have. You can eat different food, meet new and interesting people and have fun!” This might require some courage, but is definitely worth doing! 


Would you be ready to take the challenge and study abroad? Where would you go?
