Country: Malaysia
Major: Geosciences
Hi, my name is Husna and I am from Malyasia! My major is Geosciences.
As an international student, I love the opportunity to get involved in campus activities and be a part of the UA community. For example, I was a Peer Integrator for the International Student Orientation and Treasurer of the Malaysian Student Organization. I also love that the College of Science always offers a variety of opportunities to learn and experience hands-on science while working with world class professors and researchers!
The best thing about being a UA student is that I have the chance to discover my full potential. I have met a lot of new people with different backgrounds, cultures and languages. I am surrounded by positive and enthusiastic people, which encourages me to excel in my studies and be a leader. Best of all, I am receiving a top-rate education!
UA is also helping me select my future career. During my studies here, I discovered that development and civilization heavily rely on the oil and gas industry. This is why I want to work in Exploration and Production (E&P).
I highly recommend coming to UA no matter what field/major you want to explore. UA has excellent faculty, facilities and sources to be a strong student and leader. This is the perfect environment to motivate you to make contributions to the Arizona and global community.

Cecilia Ramonet-Sanchez
Country: Mexico
Major: Microbiology
My name is Cecilia, and I am from Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico! I am majoring in Microbiology with a minor in Molecular and Cellular biology at the University of Arizona.
I chose to come to UA because of three main reasons. First of all, this university has great research labs with highly recognized scholars, and has one of the best science programs. Second, it is close to my hometown, and since family is very important to me, Tucson fits me perfectly. Lastly, I am not a cold weather person, so I love Arizona’s hot climate!
One of the things I like the most about UA is that you get to interact with a lot of international students, professors, and staff. I love learning about different backgrounds, and getting to know different cultures! Even though there are people from all around the world here, they have one thing in common: we all band together when screaming, “Go Wildcats!”
