What students say about Rio Grande University

One of the most incredible things about Rio is the fact that as well as diving into the American lifestyle there is also an international community. This part of Rio helps make home feel not as far away while also getting to experience a whole new culture. As well as this, everyone here at Rio is so welcoming, especially to the international students as they know what a big change this is for us, and the help and kindness they give is like no other. This University is truly one of a kind.

What I really love about Rio is the sense of community you feel from every part of the school. Whether it be the faculty, students, or alumni, everyone is always so inviting and friendly. And that really helps with being so far away from home, it makes it feel like you can rely on so many people for whatever you need. A true home away from home
