My Story from a new international student
My thoughts of becoming UNT student can’t be overemphasized gathering from when I heard
about the school from my uncle whom has stayed in Houston, Texas for some years. I started de‐
veloping interest when I checked the website of the school and considering the fact that my course
of interest, Logistics & Supply Chain Management, is offered in the Graduate level. I was so im‐
pressed about their courses, school pictures, student activities etc. Everyday I visit the school’s
website so as to be updated on the latest information concerning the school and my course of
Ayobami Oladele study. The other side attractions about the school such as the volunteer programs, cultural events:
Nigeria international week, international education week and so on are some other reasons why I have not
stopped thinking about becoming a UNT student. Following the records of low population and se‐
rene environment suitable for studying, I have discovered that Denton especially UNT is the best
place to be. I can’t wait to start school in Fall 2010!
~Ayobami began his UNT career in Fall 2010. Find out what he has discovered in the next issue!
