Experiencia fantástica: International Gateway is not only offers a course that helps you prepare for the TOEFL exam, but it also provides exceptional support for international students to adjust to the academic environment and culture of the United States. Besides improving my English skills, I am grateful for the guidance and support I received from their teachers and advisors, as well as the friendships I made during my time there. If you are from abroad and aspire to pursue undergraduate or graduate programs in the United States, SJSU International Gateway is an excellent place to start your path toward the university.

Experiencia fantástica: I started my Masters in Urban Planning 4 weeks ago (Spring 2024) at SJSU. Since the first day, I have been remembering my excellent decision to study at International Gateways before applying for the Master's degree. During these last weeks, I have understood my classes, also I can contextualize myself with historical and cultural North American references. I am reading tons of chapters at an appropriate speed without translating any word, and I am writing e-mails and assignments with accurate feedback, which means that I am expressing myself and I am being understood. Additionally, today I will make my first presentation and all the practice that I had last semester makes me more confident for today. Besides all the pleasure moments in the classes, I would like to recognize the value of the work that the teachers have been doing for international students at the International Gateways course.

Experiencia fantástica: International Gateways has been a successful starting point for my education in the USA. Beginning my studies here, I was pleasantly surprised by how classes combine knowledge acquisition with a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, where teachers and students are equally engaged in the learning process. Thanks to diverse assignments and a kind and relaxed atmosphere, I learned how to logically and concisely express my thoughts in writing and overcame the psychological barrier of communicating in a foreign language. The summer session was very short, yet it's not easy for me to pick out the brightest moment or memory since each class was unique. However, the celebration of the 4th of July was the most fun time, as it allowed me to interact with people from other groups and connect with teachers outside of class. IG provides an excellent opportunity to improve one's English language skills and meet people from all over the world.
