"My father encouraged me to enroll in this program, because he had the idea that I needed to be exposed to English in a native country to master the language. The Dual Diploma program helped me to strengthen my English language skills. Thanks to my one year abroad, I had one of the most beautiful experiences in my life. I had a chance to know about another culture and different perspectives of life. New Paltz is a small town, people are friendly, and especially the instructors are incredibly sweet and understanding. They helped us a lot in terms of both courses and our personal problems. If you would like to meet a new country and culture by experiencing a new educational system, you must choose the SUNY Dual Diploma program."
