Student Testimonial
Transfer Advising
I want to transfer to the University of Florida
after I graduate. The counselors and advisors
are making sure that I take the correct classes
in order to attend the University of Florida.

Student Testimonial
Academic Support
Before starting the first semester, I was
worried about the language barrier. I knew the
information, but I couldnt express it. The
professors were patient, and they gave me time to
express that knowledge. If you work hard, the
professors will know it.
Jun Young Science for Health Professions Major
Delaware County Community College

Student Testimonial
Personal Attention
The community college is a supportive
environment. By attending a community college, I
was better prepared when I transferred. My host
family helped me adjust, and I still visit them.

The benefit of living on campus is that our dorm
is located very near the college. It is a big
benefit for me. I can make many friends from
different countries so that I can hang out with
them and speak English very well
