ENGLISH IN UCLA: "AN EXPERIENCE THAT I WILL NEVER FORGET"

Last week I finished my AIEP and I can say that it has been one of the best experiences of my life. I remember the first day, when I was nervous because I didn’t know anybody and I had to speak in English by myself. Immediately, this feeling changed just when I finished my evaluation test and I went with the rest of the classmates to visit the campus. Everybody was in the same situation as me, all together had to do an effort to understand each other because we spoke different languages, so we only could speak in English between us.
It was fantastic, I will never forget this day. I didn’t stop to meet new people from different countries. It’s amazing when you can connect with people around the world. I had never imagined that I could speak in English; however I haven’t stopped since then.
I can’t forget about the teachers who have achieved that each classmate goes back home with a great memory about this course. I’m very grateful. Moreover, I have to stand out the campus and its facilities which are awesome. It’s an incredible campus like a small city with lots of people and a lot of things to do; there are shops, a fitness center, a swimming pool, restaurants and all the things that young people can need.
Sincerely, I recommend this course for everybody who wants to learn English. Not only, the classes are fantastic, but also the campus life and the environment. It’s much more than a study trip; it’s a voyage where someone grows up personal and professionally. The result is worth it.

Elena Milian - Spain

UCLA Extension, simply the best decision I’ve made for my career.

"I studied International Trade and Commerce at UCLA extension and now I am working in an international trading company in Los Angeles, CA.
The fact that all of the courses were very practical, rather than being only theoretical allowed me to do an internship in the USA, which helped me tremendously in finding a job here in always-sunny SoCal. This experience is not only about career, but also about finding yourself. No matter how old you are and where you are in your life, you experience another life here that takes you to the other side of the world. Meeting people from other countries, and making close friends is not something you can always explain to others, but it is something you should live. It feels like you grow more and more with each person you meet and share with. Seeing different cultures makes you realize how much there is to live and learn.
From my UCLA Extension experience, I now know my abilities and strengths much better than before. If you are dedicated to achieving your goals like I am, UCLA Extension is an essential tool in helping you attain them. "
