Because Bloomington is great place to study English. Plus, I love this peaceful & cozy place.

How did you choose your English program?

Intensive English Program provides students the right English course for those who want to enter the universities in U.S.A. The classes are small so teachers can give us personal attention to each one of us.

I like to go to sport center on campus. Play basketball & swimming, work-out. The intensive English program organizes events for us, picnics and barbecues and parties. They also have coffee hours to meet Americans. We also travel on “field trips” to Chicago and St. Louis and visit museums.

I like to be a potential engineer and work in a company with various nationalities. Therefore, U.S. education is very significant for me.
