• Why did you choose Mizzou: I chose Mizzou for several reasons. First off, my dream is to be a war correspondent, and Mizzou provides a top-notch journalism education with real-life opportunities. Secondly, I love the traditional campus of Mizzou and believe the atmosphere can help me to develop personally and also in academic studies. Last but not least, I felt the strong humanistic care of Mizzou while I was making my decision. Everyone involved in my application process was always willing to help.
• What were you excited about and/or nervous about before you left your home country: I was afraid that I wouldn’t make any friends, because I am not that outgoing and I don’t enjoy party life so much. But I was wrong because there are all kinds of culture organizations for international students and different types of social activities for everyone.
• Are you involved in any research on campus: I am now researching about art journalism for my class and doing interviews with the art and archeology museum in our School. The museum completely shocked me with its incredible collection.
