It has been a desire of mine to study aboard and to achieve a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering. I strongly believe in applying maximum effort towards a goal and successfully achieving it.

Living and experiencing different cultures surely has given a lot of exposure and at the same time I have seen people of different walks of life living there, who are struggling to reach their goals. Major differences I have noticed here and Saudi society is, the way people perceive their future. I think this is what brings me here to experience the challenge while accomplishing my goal.

This school will give me opportunity to further myself. Time management, studying habits, better organizational skills and responsibility are just a few characteristics, I hope to develop further by attending this institution.
