Erbol Tiukebaev: "The American University of Central Asia (AUCA) offers unparalleled opportunities for studying abroad, which I was keen to explore"

May 6, 2024

Hello, AUCA community. My name is Erbol. I am a junior student at the Faculty of Business Administration and am glad to share my experience of studying in the USA.

The American University of Central Asia (AUCA) offers unparalleled opportunities for studying abroad, which I was keen to explore. From a young age, I have been fascinated by the prospect of experiencing academic life at an American educational institution. This aspiration was one of my primary motivations for choosing AUCA. From my first year, I diligently prepared for this opportunity, engaging in various activities that would bolster my application. My academic performance at AUCA, combined with my involvement in volunteering and active citizenship initiatives, enabled me to demonstrate my suitability for the Global UGRAD program to the selection committee.

Upon arrival at the exchange university in the USA, I was immediately struck by the vibrant sports culture prevalent on campus. The university hosts numerous large-scale sporting events, which see broad participation from the student body. I embraced this aspect of campus life wholeheartedly, discovering a passion for tennis, which I continue to enjoy.

Academically, I found the transition to studying in the USA surprisingly smooth. I attribute this ease to the solid educational foundation provided by AUCA, which, in my opinion, prepares students exceptionally well, making academic pursuits at American universities comparatively less challenging.

During the Global UGRAD program, I attended a workshop in Washington, D.C., where I represented my country and AUCA. This event brought together 162 students from 53 countries, and it was an honor to raise my national flag at such a significant international gathering.

I strongly encourage all AUCA students to seize the educational opportunities offered by our university. The experiences and knowledge gained are unique and immensely valuable for personal and professional growth.

Thank you for allowing me to share my experiences and insights.

Warm regards,

Erbol
