Student Testimonial: Why Did I Choose OSU? 

Danila was one of our Summer Youth Experience participants in 2018 and he returns to OSU this Fall (2019) and enrolled as an undergraduate pathway student studying in Computer Science. We are so excited to welcome him back to the Beaver Nation.

Here is Danila’s story:

"Everyone has a dream. My dream was to go to the USA and study. 2 years ago, it seemed to be impossible, but my experience at INTO OSU has changed everything. Last year, I had the opportunity to attend the Summer Youth Experience camp at Oregon State University. That was a great experience! I liked it so much, that I decided to study here. The organization of the summer camp was at the highest level and everyone was so friendly with us. Even after that, we still stayed in touch with some of the staff members. The schedule was great and included a lot of fun events and things to do! If you asked me to tell you about it in three words, I would say, ”It was AMAZING!”. "
