�ֲ���ý

Nashoba Pannell got more than he bargained for when he chose �ֲ���ý. The Charles Page High School graduate likes �ֲ���ý because it offers a similar feel to high school, but found he’s exposed to more perspectives than he anticipated.

“The most surprising thing about �ֲ���ý is the diversity,” he said. “There are more international students than I expected to encounter at a community college. I thought international students really only went to universities.”

Having experiences with those students could be valuable for Nashoba. He plans to leverage the Engineering degree he’s pursuing at �ֲ���ý to forge a career with an international energy company and hopes to work abroad.

“Socially, it’s pretty cool to have international students at �ֲ���ý, to get to know people who do things differently because they’re from somewhere else,” he said. “I’ve always wanted to travel and work abroad, maybe to Europe or South America.”
