International students find campus friendly, welcoming
Many international students are in agreement: They like being here and find the students welcoming.
There are currently 42 countries represented on our campus. Although these countries are primarily Eastern European and Asian, there are also students from New Zealand, Australia, Mexico and Africa, just to name a few.
The majority of our international students are from India and Saudi Arabia because of how strong our engineering program is, said ).
Abdullah Almurayh is an international student from Saudi Arabia. He is here to get his master's and Ph.D in computer science.
Almurayh noted that coming here has been a good experience for him.
"It's good to meet people here, to talk to them," he said. "They are all friendly, especially in Colorado."
He would like to see ISS involve more Americans in their programs – not just students, but other people from campus or from the Colorado Springs community. Almurayh said that Americans can share information about the culture here.
"I want to build a bridge between people from my country and this country," said Almurayh.
Almurayh lives here with his wife and children, and says he doesn't miss Saudi Arabia. However, he's a professor in Saudi Arabia and plans to return next summer to teach again before coming back here to continue with his Ph.D.
Veronica Castro, of Ecuador, also said that coming here has been a good experience for her. Castro is a graduate student in the sport nutrition program.
"I already did my master's in exercise science in Florida," she said. "I like it way better than the international program in Florida."
After finishing her program in Florida and choosing to stay in the United States, Castro was deciding between going to school in Utah or in Colorado.
"Both of the programs are really good, but what made me decide for UCCS was Colorado," she said. "I've heard really good things about Colorado. There's a lot of outdoor things to do year-round.
