Smooth
Process
"One of my friends went to UWGB and he’s like, ‘well if you want to study in America...try UWGB.’ Everything’s worked out perfectly in a very short amount of time. In November, I had to do all the paperwork necessary and take the (English proficiency) exams, and in the end of January, I came here."
