“I was hearing about [American Collegiate] and I thought, this was going to be a great opportunity for me to get into a better university or college. So, I decided to try it out. Amy Cruz [my American Collegiate, LA advisor] was a great mentor for me and my peers. She was very involved with each student. I never expected that help, I thought I was going to be on my own here. I didn’t know what to do, but Amy was an amazing help [to me].”

“I could not come to study in the USA in person due to the pandemic. I enrolled in American Collegiate Live because I had a plan to transfer eventually. American Collegiate Live provided a great opportunity to earn US university credits early, [and has] helped to accelerate my graduation date. My program coordinator helped me throughout the transfer process. We talked about the schools that [interested me], especially ranking majors and life in the USA. She also wrote me a recommendation letter that supported me during the application process.”

“I did research and saw a lot of students go into their dream schools. I knew this was the best program for me. Living in Los Angeles, I went to a lot of great places. Even if I was not doing something with friends, sitting and studying on the beach was the best thing. The whole experience was worth it. It is a great program if you want to go to the US to study and get extra support.”

“If you don’t feel like you’re ready to jump from your country’s education system to the education system in the US, or if you don’t know what to major in, or what you want your university life to be, then come to American Collegiate. The staff at American Collegiate provided me with thoughtful, thorough guidance and transfer advice throughout my year here. All of those talks and conversations with advisors made me realize what I wanted for a major and minor. I can’t wait to … study chemistry, [and] minor in public health. It will be very awesome. I hope it will be as great an experience as I had at American Collegiate.”

“My Fall term with AC Live was great. It helped me a lot. During these times it is really hard getting college education while being at home. AC Live really helped with going through it. It had great teachers and it was really convenient. [AC Live] prepared me for an actual campus life. Honestly I love it.”

“I have been chosen as a student ambassador from my own country and the experience is phenomenal. The classes, the interaction, everything is perfect. I didn’t expect live-to-device technology to be this good but it’s been amazing. [American Collegiate Live] has allowed me to interact with so many people and understand the concept of American education and see what’s going on around the world even in this pandemic.”

“Initially, I was confused whether to choose live classes or defer to the next semester. What I felt [was] different from others is classes are taught [with] real time scenarios. Every week interaction with university advisors are scheduled so that if any student is facing any issue they have a platform to solve it.”

“Due to Covid-19, I was not able to come to the US. When I heard about [AC Live], we thought we should give it a try. We save around $12,000 – $15,000. I attended one of the demo classes and this made me and my parents [understand] this is not something traditional. We can complete a semester while staying in a country with family.”

“The most surprising part for me was that AC Live online classes actually felt like normal classes we used to have everyday. With the requirement of your full presence and participation, the course makes sure that you are getting a proper learning with credits as well.”

“My experience with live-to-device classrooms is one of the best and unique experience because I never took online classes before, I have friends from different parts of the world, the professors are really patient in explaining every concept, and the group activities and discussions are the most interesting and fun parts in these classes.”

“You feel connected with the teacher more than how you would in real life. There’s more eye contact so the experience feels very personal. You don’t feel shy about voicing your opinion and questions because you already feel comfortable with the teacher.”

“I’ve long [wanted to] pursue a master’s degree with hands-on experience. I expected to [come to] the USA this year, but my plan got deferred due to COVID-19. At the very beginning, I was hesitant to join [a] traditional online program, but American Collegiate Live is completely different – it’s interactive and supportive. I was assigned to an individual program coordinator who has been taking care of me throughout the semester. I’m so glad that I didn’t defer my studies: [American Collegiate Live] offers me a platform to be well-prepared for [a] US education.”
