“I believe in tradition and UTech is actually amazing with Medical Technology. Not only that but I love
the spirit, the whole getting together as a group. It just makes me feel welcome.
My expectation of my school is that I am supposed to leave here with my Bachelor’s Degree and
I am supposed to make a name for myself in this institution as well as being able to have enough
networking with others to amplify myself in the work world.”

“At first, I was a bit sceptical about coming to UTech, because technology was not one of my strong
suits in high school. However, I choose UTech because I would like to have a broader degree, than
what I would be able to get at other places. I am ready to study here and to get a programme and a
degree that’s work ready, that I can get into the work world and have a job immediately and make as
much money as I can.”

“I chose UTech because my role model who is my cousin came here and she did law. She did very
well and I wanted to follow in her footsteps, so I did the same thing.
I expect to pass all my courses in the three years and not pay to repeat. I would like a straight A
profile with a 4.0 GPA hopefully. I plan to socialize more, make new friends, and participate in clubs
and extracurricular activities. I hope to excel in everything I do.”
