We asked international students to share their thoughts about
the University of Vermont and the Global Gateway Program.
This is what they said:
Our students
I chose to study in the USA because an
international degree gives you a lot more
opportunities, and I wanted to study abroad and
not do what every other engineering student in
Norway does. UVM has an incredible engineering
program and a super cool campus.
Jørgen Grav, Norway, Class of 2016
Mechanical Engineering
I joined in the Cynic and became staff writer for
the news section. I have more than five articles
published. By joining the Cynic I have improved my
writing skills, gained experience for being a journalist
as well as made lots of friends.
Chen Yang, China, Class of 2017
Business Administration
My favorite place on campus is the Davis Center.
I enjoy relaxing with friends and playing a game
of pool when I’m not in class. It’s conveniently
located and has lots of food options as well.
Pedro Eduardo Gregio Nascimento, Brazil, Class of 2018
Neuroscience
I live with a Chinese roommate, and I love it. He has
been my best friend since I started in the GGP with
him. The accommodation is great; there’s a lot of
room to personalize it however you want.
Alex Gacutan, Ukraine, Class of 2017
Public Communication
UVM is ranked very high for the courses
I’m pursuing. I also love how close downtown
is to the campus. The people in the community
are lovely, very inclusive and very welcoming
to other cultures.
Akriti Bhargava, India, Class of 2015
Political Science and Environmental Studies

As a student at UVM, you will learn everything you need
to become successful in your career, whatever you choose
to do. By joining UVM, you’ll be part of a tradition going
back hundreds of years.
