There is a special feeling that comes with arriving at a place you could only dream of. When I first got to Ashesi, I had many thoughts on my mind, fears of the unknown, and the joy that comes with moving into a new institution. I wasn’t sure what to expect, so I found myself asking questions like, “Will I find my way around campus?” Will I manage the workload? And how soon is too soon to get lost?
Ashesi is a dream school for many students because of its unique approach to teaching and learning. Still, I was worried about adjusting to new learning methods that are very different from what I was used to in high school. But from the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed. There are so many support systems in place to help students settle in. The resident assistants are always available, school leaders keep their doors open, and students relate to one another warmly, regardless of background, culture, or nationality.
