Hi, everyone! I’m excited to keep sharing my journey to the University of Arkansas with you. If you missed Part 1 in this video series, you can check that out here to find out about how I prepared for my degree in the U.S.

Once all of the tests were completed, the paperwork was submitted, and I had communicated with the University of Arkansas International Admissions Office and the International Students and Scholars team, I was ready to get on the plane that would take me to Arkansas.

In this video, I share what to expect once you get to Fayetteville—from the weather to the community to the many adventures ahead!
