  "It is easy to make friends at SHSU. SHSU is located in Texas, and Texas is known for its hospitality and friendliness. As long as you are willing to step out and talk to people, making friends in SHSU will be a very easy thing to do."

I love the effort made by all the student organizations around campus to promote awareness and organize events for all of us."

  "There are so many things I love about SHSU that I don't even know where to start! Huntsville is a great city to live in, the international community at SHSU is very diverse, the campus is beautiful, there's a multitude of student organizations, all of my classes have a small student-to-teacher ratio, and the Office of International Programs is always there to help!"

  Subash Ghimire,
  from Nepal,
  Major: Biological Sciences
  "The Biology Department at SHSU is small, which allows for a lot of interaction with professors. Most professors know me and go out of their way to help me. During my time here I've made friends with many international students, with whom I am able to learn from and exchange culture and traditions."
