I am Florian from Munich in Germany. I finished high school in Germany and now I am looking forward to study in the US. I just began to study Communication in January 2014 but already like it a lot. The system is pretty familiar because I went to a Boarding School in Germany so I am used to live on campus and share my room with others. You might think there are huge differences and difficulties, like the language or the culture, but let me tell you something. I was really scared when I left my family and flew thousands of miles to a foreign city. It is a big step but it is also a great opportunity. Studying abroad is challenging and takes all your passion and effort but you will learn to appreciate and start loving it. I really do appreciate that I got the chance to study at UD and I can just recommend giving it a try! There is a variety of visiting and discover programs, which can give you an idea of studying in a foreign country. Go for it! show less

My dream was to study in the US since I was a kid. I have been always dreaming of being a student here so I can enjoy my education as well as all the nice places here in the US. I was looking for the best education that entitles me to pursue a higher education and allows me to design and innovate the things I have been dreaming of since I was a kid like cars, robots, and mechanical machines. When I first came to the US, I had no clear idea about where I want to pursue my bachelor dgree. But after visiting UD for the first time, I knew that was the place for me so Idecided to join. I have heared that UD has nice facilities that assure the best education but when I became a student here I became impressed with the facilities that UD provides such as library fully equiped, labs, tutoring, student clubs, and high-tech classrooms. Teachers at UD are exeptional! No matter how I emphesize on how awesome they are I won’t be able to say it perrfectly. They use very creative methods of teaching where they can show nice skills of communication. Being a student at UD does not mean having lectures only but also means to be a part of group of nice peole who are willing to learn, lead, and be creative. I am sponsored by the Kuwaiti Minstiry of Higher Education. I like that we have lots of student clubs at UD. I am doing my best to learn as much as possible about mechanical designs and robotics since I believe it will be in a very useful use in my home country. Studying in the US will not only let you have an excellent education but it will also grant you to explore other cultures, make new friends, and have a better understanding of the sense of community and how to be a productive member in the human family. show less
