Finding another home almost 7,500 miles away from my homeland wasn’t easy, but I found one here at Fairfield. The University is amazing in every aspect, from its quality education and beautiful surroundings to its excellent reputation and the values it stands for. The education here has not only prepared me to thrive in my personal and professional life, but it has compelled me to create a brighter tomorrow and lead passionately with others."
