I decided to study in American Language Institution, San Diego State University because I have found a short program called Pre-MBA which help international students prepare themselves for Master or MBA in USA. I found the courses very helpful with lots of homework to stimulate the critical thinking. the coursework was heavy however I did enjoy it very much. the staffs officers are very friendly and approachable who always give supports and advice to students when needed, The tutors also offered students a free essay writing session to help and guide students how to write successful application in order to apply for the masters or MBAs in USA or UK. I was one of international students, There I made lots of friends, who now have become good friends, specially from asia. one of my taiwanese friends was accepted to the MBA program after his program completion, and myself i have moved to UK in order to attend my MSc program. overall, I gained so much both the study and life experience. i would highly recommend this university for those who want to improve their english and academic area while enjoying the study and life experiences. show less
