<p>I love international students. Having grown up in a lot of different places, I enjoy meeting people from all parts of the globe. So, for those international students who are coming to UVA, can you answer these questions for me?</p>
<p>1) What country are you from?</p>
<p>2) How did you first hear about UVA?</p>
<p>3) What made you apply, and then what made you choose to come to UVA?</p>
<p>4) What do you hope to gain from a US education - especially at UVA?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>I've no idea if I count as one but here goes.</p>
<p>1) Taiwan, and no that's NOT Thailand. =) I was born in the States though, and go back every summer.
2) My mom's friends who graduated from UVa in three years.
3) Felt that it was a safety that I would actually like to go to, sorry to those who didn't get in. ><" And when do you go to a safety? Yeah..
4) A more diverse viewpoint (right now it's pretty Asianocentric), and how it'll be to function in a place where I'm the minority.</p>
<p>Hehe ok :)</p>
<p>1) What country are you from? - Peru</p>
<p>2) How did you first hear about UVA? - A friend's brother was about to graduate from UVA and she kept telling me how awsome he thought the university had been. Also a couple of virginia residents in my grade were applying.</p>
<p>3) What made you apply, and then what made you choose to come to UVA? To tell you the truth I was applying because some people had told me it was great and I needed a couple more universities to apply to, however it turned out great in the end. I chose to go to UVa in the end because its of great prestige yet not at an Ivy League standard, meaning its great education without excessive pressure and stress. </p>
<p>4) What do you hope to gain from a US education - especially at UVA? I guess a new perspective on life, living 18 years in Peru makes you want to experience more of the world...study in a country where things are created to change the world.</p>
<p>I come from India</p>
<p>I choose UVa..cuz its UVa..best public and an amazing place...some of my frens studied there..that perhaps had an influence on me</p>
<p>Why US</p>
<p>Because US is an idea in itself..its for people who are creative and theres world class education there</p>

<p>heard about UVa from frens</p>
<p>I come from France and I heard about Uva by students from my school in Paris who studied one year there. </p>
<p>We have to go abroad during our third year in my university, I chose UVa because I think it is one of the best public universities and because Charlottesville seems to be an amazing place. The campus seems beautiful. I wanted to live as an American student on a campus and I think Uva is a good place for that because there is a real campus but it is not so so big therefore I hope I will be able to meet many Americans and find friends!</p>
<p>I hope Us education will be very different from French education so as to discover new ways of learning. I'd like to discover Virginia and the US and to... live a very special year!</p>
