Why did you choose to come to UW-Whitewater?
I did not choose to come to Whitewater. I am on a scholarship program called Fulbright and my sponsor (The US State Department) through the Institute of International Education placed me here. They place students according to their field of study and other criteria determined by the candidate. In my own case, I wanted a campus where I can both focus on my studies and also have opportunity to be involved in vibrant extracurricular activities. And UW-Whitewater met all my criteria.

What organizations, sports teams or extra-curricular activities do you participate in?
