Welcome and presentation

“I thoroughly enjoyed my year abroad studying at ULB. It was my first international learning experience, so I was a little nervous about how it was going to turn out. [...]The exchange first began in my home country, when I received my information package from the international student department in ULB. [...]These materials that I received from the PI SOCO international student faculty were excellent and provided me with more than sufficient information to be prepared to enter, live and exit Belgium. Once I arrived in Brussels for school, the faculty had an orientation session for all international students. [...] The international organization called Express, which helped make the international experience a memorable part of my life. They provided the international community with opportunities to meet each other and share stories and challenges that we may have been going through with adjusting to life in Brussels.

I really enjoyed my classes for several reasons: the professors were great and provided guidance on projects or questions that I posed and the courses allowed me to take on new roles while working in groups that mimicked roles that I can take on after university. Several of the courses I took allowed me to explore existing theories and develop new ideas and thoughts. The professors pushed each student to perform at their best.

My international experience was great. Yours can be too!”
