Journey as an International Student at Butte College

Journey as an International Student at Butte College

May 25, 2025

Insights and Reflections from Mohammed Bilasanadvi

International Student from Tunisia Transfers to Chico State for a Marketing Degree Mohammed Bilasanadvi is an international student from Tunisia who is looking to transfer to Chico State for a marketing degree. Mohammed has been attending Butte Community College for the past few months, and he has quickly fallen in love with the campus and the people there. Mohammed has learned about economics, marketing, accounting, and working with businesses at Butte College. He found a comfortable apartment off Columbus Avenue with roommates who are very understanding. And Mohammed learned that the bus system at Butte College provides convenient transportation to the campus and he has even made friends with some of the drivers.

Mohammed has received invaluable support from his professors who also assisted him with financial aid. While his ultimate goal is to obtain a marketing degree in the US and secure a well-paying job back home, Mohammed has also considered Chico State as a potential transfer option. If you're looking for a college that can provide a welcoming environment, top-notch education, and helpful resources, Butte Community College could be the perfect fit for you.
