Studying in the United States has revolutionized my perspective of the
world and my life. Being an International student has been a life
changing experience, it has made me mature and realize that the world is
bigger and different. I am now more aware of things that I have
previously not considered. I am more open minded regarding religion,
cultures, food. The diversity on California and at Chabot is vast and
unique. The experiences that I encountered, the people I have met, and
all that I learned at Chabot is something I would never change. I've
been involved in various campus extracurricular activities and on the International Club and its been awesome to help on events and to
socialize this way. I also I'm a senator on the ASCC Student Government
and its been a very good experience to represent the student body at
Chabot to the local and state administrators. I won the 2007-2008
International Student scholarship achievement in recognition for my
leadership and academic accomplishments at Chabot College and the
feeling is amazing, because you see your daily effort to be better
recognized and appreciated. I strongly recommend to start your
undergraduate studies at Chabot because you get a great education at an
affordable price in a really nice environment. |

Resources in Chabot are varied and very helpful, especially the tutorial program. I decided
to study French besides English in my first semester in Chabot. It's a
big challenge to me, an international student, to handle two big world
languages? study. My French tutor was also an international student from
France. With her help, I got a very good beginning and I've decided to
continue my French study in the following semesters in Chabot. Besides
of only being a tutee, I decided to become a tutor in my second
semester. I made friends with my tutees and many other tutors, and my
English gets improved very quickly. The tutorial center is just like a
big family. I really enjoy being a part of it.

The FACTS payment was
really helpful to me during the time I used it to pay the tuition of the
Spring 08. As an international student, the tuition is not as affordable
as for citizens or residents, so the FACTS helped me to 'softer' the
initial impact on my monthly budget and save some money for books, gas
and food, instead of saving a great initial amount and paying everything
at the first month. Therefore, I highly recommend the FACTS payment not
only because it allows a better management of the tuition, but also
because of the simple way that you can pay it using the internet. Simple
and quick.
In Portuguese:
O sistema de pagamento parcelado oferecido pelo FACTS foi muito til
para mim durante o perodo que o utilizei para o pagamento do Spring 08.
Como um estudante internacional, as despesas totais pelas aulas no so
baratas se comparadas aos cidados e residentes. Dessa forma, o FACTS me
auxiliou a aliviar o impacto inicial que teria nas minhas despesas
mensais e a guardar um pouco de dinheiro para livros, gasolina e comida,
ao invs de guardar uma grande quantia inicial e quitar toda a despesa
no primeiro ms. Ento, eu recomendo o plano de pagamento mensal do
FACTS no apenas porque permite um melhor planejamento das despesas, mas
tambm porque pode-se pagar facilmente atravs da internet. Simples e
rpido. |
