The importance of diet for people's well-being has not been lost on me
as I have moved between Cyprus, the United Kingdom to study nutrition and food
science and finally to United States to follow my dream, and study dietetics in
the last four years. Coming to the United States was a big step for me, when I
first came I was totally out of my element, but after a couple of days I have adjusted.
In the beginning, I was feeling homesick, but what really helped me was united
orientation. There I met new people, and since then we have been friends
through thick and thin. I like studying at Eastern Michigan university, because
of the opportunities that offers, and the experiences that you gain as an
individual. In addition, EMU promotes diversity, which for international
students is really important. There are so many organizations and events going
on at the university that would help you adjust in your new beginning and
socialize.
As for the classroom experience if you do study
and follow the syllabus you should be fine! Professors are friendly and easy
going (most of the times) and they are there to help you. Moreover, if you do
have any problems or concerns there are advisors that can help you, either from
office of international students (ois) or from your department. I truly feel
that EMU now is my new family!
