community and the research caliber of the university. The UWC community was a big part of my decision because I wanted to go to a school where I would feel welcome and safe during my four years of college. There were always international students in my vicinity to talk about issues that related to my experience at OU. The research acumen was the other reason I chose OU! I wanted the chance to delve deeper into topics that interested me, and I wanted to do it with faculty who were actively involved in research of their own. OU being an R1 institution offered this to me at an early stage of my academic career.”
