"The main reason I chose to attend UW-Green Bay was the responsiveness and efficiency of the international office. They quickly approved my application and sent my documents while I was still back home. At the same time, I felt a sense of destiny, as if it was meant to be. I believe my talents are valued here, and UW-Green Bay has truly become my second home. I love the supportive community, the mentors, and the entire campus environment. Everyone is always ready to help and be a part of my academic journey."
