“Over here, I've found teachers to be very helpful and understanding. Coming from another country, it is not just easy to adjust to a new system, but the way that you kind of get a personal relationship to your teachers helps a lot. They care whether you come to class or not, which is good because it helps you not to fall behind. There are teachers who try to vary it up by making students participate in class. I think it is important to have a combination of both in order to learn most effectively."
