My time as an international student at UW-Eau Claire has been an eye-opening experience. Through the challenges of adjusting to a new country and culture, I have become more resilient, open-minded, and adaptable. I deeply appreciate the supportive community at UWEC, who have helped me navigate the complexities of studying abroad and made the transition much smoother. Being a Blugold has been a source of pride for me, and I am grateful for the personal growth and memories that I will cherish for a lifetime.
