International Program

When I transferred to Linfield my sophomore year, I could only imagine how difficult the transition would be. However, from my experience in this past year, attending Linfield is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. As an International student, I was able to depend on a community that values and respects my culture while I immerse myself in the endless opportunities the school has to offer. I jumped right into varsity sports, clubs, and student organizations. Outside the community, I had the opportunity to serve the orphans and families in need in Mexico and China through outreach mission trips. Inside the classroom, I challenged myself with honors and AP classes that help to better prepare me for American college. Linfield has really inspired me to grow in my Christian faith, character, and academic standing.

It was definitely Linfield’s atmosphere that helped my conversion. I was originally an atheist and had none of the background knowledge of other religions. However, I was deeply impressed by Christ’s influence on other students. Profoundly inspired, I chose to follow Christ’s words. Linfield deeply changed my cynical worldview, personality, and moral standards into optimistic ones. I love Linfield soooo much!

Linfield to me is a family. Here I can see both challenge and opportunity. Teachers here are kind and easy to approach, much like friends. My host parents are responsible and generous; they treat me like I am their daughter. Studying here will be my unforgettable memory.
