#WHYCSI – Most international schools have ESL program, and then I found CSI’s skill building programs in particular the Small Business Administrator program. The SBA program appealed to me because I dreamt of someday starting up a company of my own. Usually international students that come to the US do not get an advantage learn about small business experiences. The SBA class gave me useful information on small business environment in Illinois, and introduced me to SCORE a mentoring program from senior business advising to bookkeeping.
#WHYCSI – I come to CSI two days a week, it’s a flexible schedule. The teachers here are really helping. They value your opinion, and it’s not just what you learn and what they teach. The admissions are very flexible as well. What we learned here is not only a language, and the cultural as well which come with the language. And when you go back to your country you can work in different area, and do some real thing in our life. So I would recommend everyone to join CSI!
#WHYCSI – This is a great place to start your new life in the US, and it’s a very nice school to learn a different language, to meet wonderful people, to make friends, to achieve your dream, and I can’t think a better words as this is the best school ever. Please come here, you’ll never forget this experience!
#WHYCSI – I choose CSI because the location is pretty good. They have a station like two blocks away. Also, they always keep classrooms and kitchen very clean. I’d like to say what I most like in CSI are the teachers, most of them are very friendly, helpful, and they have great knowledge about what they are teaching us.
