What Do You Like Most About SIUE? The campus is beautiful and people here are very friendly and helpful.

What Do You Find To Be the Biggest Difference Between the U.S. and Your Home Country? The two countries are very different in many aspects. It is really difficult for me to pick one difference to talk about. However, I have also realized that in spite of the differences that exist between the two countries the people are more similar than different. The deeper you go into another culture you notice more similarities than differences.

Interesting Facts : I like watching British and American comedy television programs.
