What our students say

Qian from China

Graduate Global Pathway, leading to a graduate degree at Northeastern University

When I first came here, I was very shy because I always thought my English was very poor. I worried about making mistakes, but through the program I got a lot of practice. My instructors helped me a lot, and my English really improved too.
