The staff at the international centre and all of my teachers are very nice; they help me with anything I need. In the beginning, it was scary to start a new life in a new country, but people here really make you feel at home, and comfortable. There is help for counseling, visas and immigration, and the activities organized by the centre are great! Sandra Benz (Switzerland) English for Academic Purposes (EAP) Student
