The people for sure. Everyone I met through the MEM program, from the directors, professors, admin staff, career service to my peer students and classmates, is amazing! We work hard and play hard, and everyone is super nice and helpful! Not to mention my lovely landlady Grace in West Lebanon, who I interacted day in and day out. This makes a very big difference for a foreign student coming to this country.
