Eric Xu from China
“I’m from Shanghai, which a lot of people say is like New York City. They are both giant cities, with sky scrapers and shopping and so much to do. I do miss that lifestyle. But this is a unique opportunity to be here. And there are many social and networking opportunities on campus, which is impressive. I like meeting people from different cultures, and I want to expand my network. I try to be open to attend events and have cross-cultural connections as often as I can. I want to seize every opportunity I have to expand my horizons. That is a big part of the reason I came here.”
Eric Xu, from China, is pursuing a Master in Finance in the Lerner College of Business and Economics. He hopes to combine his background in Food Sciences and Engineering with his graduate degree in the future. Eric says his experience at University of Delaware has been excellent, in large part because of the advanced education system and the teaching style. He says professors are more patient and encouraging of questions from students than he experienced during his undergraduate studies in China, but there is also a lot more homework and independent learning. While the work can be stressful and sometimes keep him from networking activities, he knows all of this is teaching him critical skills that will benefit him in the future. Eric Xu is this week’s #FriendofOISS.
