“I always wanted to go here. I knew I wanted to work in<br />

hospitality. I saw how the service worked in Europe and<br />

Russia, but everyone would agree that the US has the<br />

friendliest people and the best service so I decided to<br />

study in this country. I had a choice between two universities<br />

but I decided <strong>JMU</strong> because it’s highly ranked. Virginia<br />

is so beautiful. This is the place I’d like to be.”<br />
