Maine Central Institute is known for their diverse students and experiences. Our next story is about a dorm citizen from Moscow, Russia who lives in Alumni Hall. Irina told the Humans of MCI blog how her experience in our community is sincerely unique for her:
"Studying in the United States has had a great impact on me and my views on life. I can say with the same great confidence that it has impacted me only in a good way and has given me different experiences. I saw an American football game for the first time in my life. In Russia we have soccer called football, which became my second favorite sport to watch after I experienced an American football game live at MCI. I'd never done track before I came here. Sports and activities, combined with dorm life gave me opportunities to make friends from different countries and obviously from various states across America. I'm improving my English skills not only during classes at school, but also in my free time when I hang out with friends, generally combining business with pleasure. I am very lucky to be able to study in the United States. I'm so glad my parents gave me the opportunity to study at MCI."
