What Our Students Say

> **Ashley McDaniel, class of 2016** >

Transferring from Truman College to East-West University was one of the best moves I believe I have ever made for my future. From the time that I walked through the doors of East-West University up until now, I knew and still do know that I was and will continue to be in good hands.

*** > **Octavia Yates, class of 2015** >

My experience at East-West University has been interesting. I graduated from Malcolm X College unsure of what to expect going forward with my education. Applying and acceptance to the University were as painless as possible. I was accepted immediately and given endless guidance. My counselors made that transition less stressful. I feel extremely prepared for life after graduation, because my abilities have been enhanced.

*** > **Nour Karadsheh, Class of 2015** >

As a transfer student, I did not expect how welcoming the school was when I walked through the doors of East-West University. Living on campus has got me to become closer to the school to be able to meet with the teachers anytime during the day when I needed the help. I feel confident going to East-West to complete my Bachelor degree, not only because of the curriculum, but with opportunities that the school provides. I am on my way to take an internship course with the help of the faculty to get me to work with film production here in the Chicago area.
