Meet Ly from Vietnam! 🇻🇳 She’s currently studying Accounting at Mission College, and when we asked her about her experience, she lit up. For Ly, two things stand out most about Mission: the global community and the unmatched support for international students.

A Truly Global Community 

“The international student community is very diverse,” Ly shares. “We have Korean, Venezuelan, Chinese… every single country. It’s a school where you can meet friends from all over the world.”

For Ly, the friendships and cultural exchange are just as valuable as her Accounting classes. Mission isn’t only about academics—it’s about connecting with people who share their cultures, perspectives, and dreams. Every conversation becomes an opportunity to learn something new.

Support You Can Actually Count On

The second thing Ly loves most is how Mission College supports international students.

She explains:

“If you are Vietnamese and your English isn’t strong, you can go to the International Student Office and they have ambassadors who speak your language to help you right away.”

And it’s not just for Vietnamese students.

“If you’re Chinese and you say, ‘Hey, I need a Chinese ambassador who can help me with the degree program, the English program, or how to apply,’ they have someone who can help you right away.”

This ambassador program is a lifeline for students adjusting to life in the U.S. Whether in person, over email, or even on the phone, students can always find someone who understands them. And if you prefer, all the information you need is also available on the Mission College website, making support accessible no matter where you are.

Why Ly Recommends Mission 

For Ly, Mission College is more than a place to study—it’s a place to belong. With a diverse community and a support system designed to make students feel at home, she says;

“Mission College is a school where you can meet friends from different countries, and you’ll always find someone to help you. You’re going to be happy here.”
