MEET A STUDENT

Naoko Shima, international student at Fisher College

name: Naoko Shima
from: Japan 
planned major: Psychology 

"Fisher College is a good school because there is language help at the International Study Center (ISC) for international students. The ISC is helpful to me and I can focus on English. When American students talk to me, I can practice how to speak English. It is valuable for international students. I already have friends in the College and also outside of College. I chose Boston because it has good educational opportunities for students. I like Boston because there are nice buildings, a lot of shops, and the people are considerate. It would be a good idea for other international students to study here."
