While they are all looking forward to the new opportunities that await them back home in Saudi Arabia, they plan to make the most of their time here.
"We have found the people here to be even friendlier than we thought and we are having a good time observing and learning," says Thamer. "This experience has opened our eyes to a new world and we are glad to have this opportunity."
Thamer, Mohammad and Abduaziz are the first three from SAMA to enroll at Georgia State but there are already three-to-five applicants in the queue and the expectation is that approximately 40 students will eventually graduate from Robinson.
Meanwhile, these three pioneers are hitting the English books and preparing for the graduate entrance exams as they pave the way for their colleagues.
