“Many thanks to UBridge for helping me resolve my issues timely since last June. Some text books are not available in Asia, but my UB advisor managed to help me out. Online courses are a bit different from face-to-face courses, so I need to take some time to get used to it. But you could review the lecture videos whenever you need, which is quite good.”

“During the past two years, UBridge advisors have supported me through many challenges in my academic journey. It’s hard to imagine how things would have ended up without their help. Before coming to the U.S., I was very afraid to face everything alone. I wasn’t sure how to handle problems correctly not just related to school, but also daily life in an unfamiliar environment. However, the advisors patiently guided me through personal questions, from enrolling in classes and accessing campus resources to communicating with professors and applying to UC schools. Throughout my application process, I received a lot of help from them in understanding transfer requirements and organizing required materials. Most importantly, their feedbacks are part of my motivation for applying to UC schools as well. They always supported and encouraged my goals, especially during times when I was feeling uncertain or overwhelmed. I believe that their company and guidance helped me build confidence and find a right direction in both my academic journey and personal growth.”

From selecting classes to transferring, they have been awesome at providing not just resources and tools but also the encouragement I needed to stay on track. Katelyn has been amazing too, her patience and expertise made me feel confident in her abilities to help me transfer. I appreciate her efforts deeply and thanks to UBridge for assisting me along the way to my UC dream offer.”
