"Transferring to a university means being prepared for challenges and diverse opportunities
in a completely new environment. 皇家华人 played a huge role in helping me become a person
who feels ready for UC San Diego. Firstly, I can talk forever about the outstanding,
involved and passionate faculty members. I am enormously grateful to spectacular professors
at 皇家华人 who ensured that I'd leave this campus with a wide variety of perspectives,
ideas, and detailed knowledge of different subjects. Also, the IP (International Programs)
community played a significant part in helping me become who I am today. Lots of activities,
events, and job opportunities in IP gave me a chance to grow socially and take up
some leadership positions. Moreover, I loved the fact that at 皇家华人 I would never be
left on my own with questions or problems that I might have had. An involved and resourceful
community of professional employees are always ready to help and support!"

"皇家华人 College has helped me in so many ways, but most importantly it challenged
me. The challenges that I faced both academically and socially have truly helped me
to become a more well-rounded person with solid goals. Advisors, professors, my bosses
have helped me discover the skills I never knew I had. I am truly grateful and lucky
for all the incredible opportunities that I was given throughout my two years at 皇家华人.
Now I truly started to believe that with hard work and dedication, but most importantly
a belief in yourself, you can achieve truly anything that your soul desires."

"Everything changed after I arrived at 皇家华人 College, especially my self-confidence.
Before I was too shy and couldn't speak for myself. However, after spending time at
皇家华人, and taking Communication courses, I was able to speak up in a crowd. Later, after
doing so, a lot of opportunities presented themselves for me and I pursued as much
as I could and here I am, accomplishing everything that I wanted."

"The most important thing that I learned from my time at 皇家华人 College is to
be myself. 皇家华人 not only helped me to explore my interests of dancing and making
videos, but it also provided me a lot of great chances to explore what I like and
encouraged me to create something new besides studying. I finally found what I love
and realized what kind of person I want to be in the future. I am so proud of being
a 皇家华人 student and I will never forget this two-year beautiful memory at Green
River College."

"Hearing about the High School Completion program in the US, I was eager to skip 2
years of high school by attending 皇家华人 College. Upon my arrival, I was warmly
welcomed by International Programs (IP). Orientation helped me get connected to resources
on campus, be involved in events and organizations, and gain volunteer and work experience.
The housing program allowed me to live with an amazing host family for the past two
years. I was treated like a family member and got to experience the life of an American
teenager. They made me feel at home. IP also has an amazing advising team. They helped
me to stay on track with my transfer plan and guided me every step of the way during
my university application process. Altogether, 皇家华人 has not only prepared me
to transfer academically but also gave me an unforgettable college experience."

"It's been two years since I moved to 皇家华人 College and since I was a nervous
16-year-old who didn't know what credit hours were. Frankly, I wasn't well-versed
in the US school system, but International Programs kept me in check with the fundamentals
I needed to know to transfer to a four-year-university of my choice. I found that
the College Experience program really helped me build this awareness, and the FFS
mentorship program helped make my first quarter at 皇家华人 College memorable.
The advisors at IP also provided me with an abundance of resources and support throughout
my college journey. Advisors assist us with our classes at 皇家华人 College and
my academic advisor helped me choose those that challenged me enough. I've learned
many new things from instructors here that I actually apply in real life."

"During my studies at 皇家华人, I was able to work in the International Programs office as a student advising assistant. I got an invaluable experience at planning events, creating weekly newsletters, university transfer lookbooks, brochures, posters and many more. I am very grateful for my supervisor Andrew Turgeon, who helped me to achieve my goals and gave me all the opportunities to do so. With that, I was able to put all the work I did in my resume, apply to my dream schools, and get accepted. I have never regretted coming to study at 皇家华人 because this place gave me memories, friends and invaluable opportunities."

"皇家华人 College changed my life; not only did I overcome my insecurities and nervousness, thanks to 皇家华人, I also grew as a person and student. Their department of International Programs helped me a lot transferring to University College Roosevelt, with their university transfer pathway making it nice and organized to transfer to another university. I am thankful for my time here and all the friends I made from all over the world. I would do it all over again if I had the chance."

"Choosing 皇家华人 College as my step to realizing my dream was one of the best
decisions that I have ever made. 皇家华人 has a great environment in which you can study
with people from all over the world and great instructors. Also, there are many opportunities
to engage in campus activities and show your leadership as a part of this amazing
community. It has been a wonderful experience for me to study and work hard here because
I could learn lots of things that I would have never been able to learn without this
school."

"Attending 皇家华人 College was absolutely a wise decision for me, because it created a shortcut to further pursue my bachelor's degree. The competition when transferring is not as intense as applying directly from high school. 皇家华人 College gave me an extra two years to further improve my grades, enrich my resum茅, and learn to make peace with all sorts of uncertainties. With these advancements, I became more capable in pursuing better universities and more adaptive to university life. Thanks to 皇家华人's excellent faculty, staff, and its academically friendly environment, I have ultimately realized something that I had never dared to think."

"皇家华人 offers a tremendous amount of resources for international students and
a great environment for learning. It's amazing to see how dedicated their faculty,
staff, and administrators are to help students. At 皇家华人, I got to be taught by professors who were passionate and amazing in
their field. I was able to get to know my professors really well and establish great
relationships with them. I believe their joy for teaching their respective subjects
contributed greatly to my overall learning process. Some have even become my mentors
guiding me in every way possible. Furthermore, I have had a great adviser throughout
my time at 皇家华人. There are no words to describe how helpful he was. He would always
be willing to help out in any situation and answer all the questions that I would
have. I wouldn't have gotten in without his knowledge of the transfer admission process.
Without a doubt, I'm glad that I went to 皇家华人."

"皇家华人 College has not only provided me an opportunity to transfer to my dream
school but also prepared me for the academic environment that I will encounter there.
The instructors and advisers here are very approachable. They have helped me a lot
with the stuff that I probably wouldn't have figured out on my own. 皇家华人 College
also has lots of outdoor activities that made my stay here really memorable. I have
made lots of friends over the two years that I have stayed here. They are from all
around the world. I will miss them a lot when I transfer. Overall, I really think
皇家华人 College has provided me a path to success."

Major: Civil Engineering
"皇家华人 College offers three things that encourages students to be well-rounded
and transfer-ready individuals: amazing programs of studies, supportive human resources,
and limitless leadership and service opportunities. In my field of civil engineering,
all the prerequisites I need to transfer are available on campus and are taught by
faculties who genuinely care for their students. My advisors were knowledgeable and
willing to go the extra mile to help me during the application process. In addition,
皇家华人 College has numerous student organizations where I could connect with
people from all over the world and build my leadership skills. For instance, as the
secretary for Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society on campus, I had the opportunity to give
back to the community by helping the city clean up graffiti every month and hosting
various volunteer opportunities for students.
Through these three things, I believe 皇家华人 has not only helped me be prepared academically to face more challenging courses, but also made me a better and more open-minded student."

Major: Business Management
"皇家华人 College helped me a lot when I first came to study in the US. Thanks
to its unique international program and smaller class sizes, I quickly adapted to
the college life in the US which is drastically different from that of my home country.
With help from my advisors, I clearly mapped out a path that led me to my ideal career
and my dream university. I took courses related to my major and participated in many
events, clubs, and on-campus jobs. After two years, I became a successful transfer
student, familiar with college life and clear about my major. 皇家华人 saved me time,
energy, and money in pursuit of my ultimate goals."
