“When Dr. Quiñones-Hinojosa arrived in the US he did not speak English. He attended a California community college and transferred to UC Berkeley. After finishing at Berkeley, he completed medical school at Harvard University and is now a neurosurgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital and Director of the Brain Tumor Surgery Program at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center.”

“Getting to know other international students and learning from great faculty and staff made me feel well-prepared to transfer to Drexel University. I was awarded a Dean’s Scholarship and my credits transferred easily towards my bachelor’s degree. Today, I work as a financial analyst for one of the largest U.S. banks – JP Morgan Chase & Co.”

“With the help of GRCC advisors and GRCC International Program staff I was able to get accepted to the University of California at Berkeley to study Chemical Engineering & Material Sciences. Looking back to the very first day I set foot in the US, I am truly grateful for having the chance to know all of the wonderful people who inspired me, helped me and encouraged me to be able to do the things that I am doing right now.”

“So far everything has been almost perfect. Santa Barbara is beautiful, the mountains, downtown, and the beach, they’re all wonderful. The apartment is huge, it’s well equipped and it looks good. There are tons of college kids, it’s a good mix between boys and girls and there’s a lot of parties. So the experience so far has been amazing, and unexpectedly, I don’t miss home at all.”
