Plattsburgh has great support for international students. The region is absolutely beautiful. Last winter I took a skiing trip to Titus Mountain. It was a memorable experience because I got to know many new and interesting people. Furthermore, I liked it because it gave me the opportunity to go skiing again after nearly ten years!

What do you like about Plattsburgh?
I doubt if there is a better place than Plattsburgh to flourish academically. The professors show they care and they are always ready to help. I have learned so much in just one year and I never have had so much fun. There is a real community surrounding my major, biology. We even did research that I never dreamed of being a part of in my first year of college.
