What Darton International Students Say

Photo: Mustapha TambaHaving the ambition and determination to further strengthen your academic potential is one thing, but getting the right school to support your choice is another thing. As an international student who only wished to get the best and yet affordable “quality” education, I was faced with very challenging and crucial questions that you, too, may have: Does this school have a solid academic reputation? Can I even afford to go to the school? Is the location of the school ideal for students? Are the faculty, staff, and community helpful? I got my first relief when I realized that Darton College, despite its solid academic reputation and the quality of education, its tuition fees are quite reasonable. In addition, its location is very conducive for learning, and its faculty and staff, together with the community, are very helpful.

At Darton, I had the opportunity to get quality education and also leadership skills through serving as Vice Presidents of several campus clubs, while at the same time boasting my communication and team work spirit. Thanks to the helpful faculty, staff and the community, I was able to hold student leadership positions, volunteer for both campus and community events, and represent the school as an athlete...all while excelling in my studies. At Darton, I feel at home.

In short, Darton College has given me all I needed as an international student: quality and affordable education in an ideal environment, leadership and communication skills, and much more. As a foreign student, if you are thinking of pursuing your academic dreams, Darton would be a great choice to break barriers and build bridges, turning anxiety and nervousness into self confidence.

If you are looking for a school where there is a friendly atmosphere and education is of a high quality yet affordable, then Darton College is right for you! The friendly staff are always willing to help and I found the smaller classes made it easier to learn. This is something only a small schools can provide. You'll find that other students are friendly and there are plenty of other international students that are all sharing the same experience. There are always events going on to bring the international students together so you will never feel like you are alone.

There are heaps of different clubs, organizations and extracurricular activities to get involved in. If athletics is more your style, then try out for one of the sporting teams. The athletic programs provide international students with opportunities that a lot of people don't get in their home countries.

I recommend Darton College to any international student that is looking for a positively life changing experience academically and socially.
