We continue to be impressed by our Indian students’ academic preparation, academic achievement on campus, as well as their contributions to our campus community. It seemed that now is a wise time to invest, and we look forward to welcoming even more Indian students to our friendly, safe and academically rigorous campus in the near future.”
