A Pathway from Guadalajara to Bristol

My Journey to RWU!

Andrea Arriaga '23, International Relations, Mexico
Welcome to Roger Williams University!
Welcome to Roger Williams University!

My name is Andrea Arriaga and I'm an international student from Mexico. Just two months ago, I left part of my life behind to embark on this new adventure. I came to Roger Williams University to major in International Relations and to find other passions that might turn into minors. Honestly, I don't know how I got here but I don't regret my decision. I had never heard of this school before, but during the application process, my high school counselor told me to apply anyways. RWU was the first university to accept me and that made me look more into it until I finally decided that it seemed to be the right choice for me.

Hoy, me siento muy afortunada de estar aquí. La escuela y las clases me encantan, pero las amistades que he formado son increíbles. En poco tiempo he conocido a mucha gente diferente a mí, y he aprendido sobre diferentes culturas. Estas personas hacen que me sienta en casa a pesar de estar tan lejos de mi hogar. Algo que disfruto mucho es pasear por la ciudad para conocer y estoy muy contenta de tener la oportunidad de hacerlo aquí, lo que me ha llevado a descubrir lugares hermosos, y la compañía siempre lo hace mejor.

I can't wait for all the great experiences that await throughout these four years!
