謝謝推薦我維吉尼亞國際大學! 
因為當初要求希望挑選個中文語系少的學校,維吉尼亞國際大學果然沒讓我失望, 從報到到畢業,遇到說中文的學生10個指頭都可以數得出來。 
學校的亞洲人種多半是日本人及韓國人,再來是中東人和南美洲人,以我的英文班級,遇到的歐洲人比較少,由於都鮮少遇到說中文的學生,所以讓我的英文功力大大提升。
 
原以為語言學校的學校生活是比較輕鬆的,當我入學第一天才發現,其實不然。維吉尼亞國際大學很重視出席率,每堂上課都會先點名, 也很注重學生是否有確實做家庭作業,上課也會檢查,學校對於學生的聽,說,讀,寫每個項目都很要求。
若學生某方面較弱(以我的例子是寫作較弱),只要學生提出需求,老師會提供額外的功課補強不足的部分, 這點真的很很棒,也因為如此,階級測試,我的寫作讓我提升了兩個英文等級。
