I chose CATS College over
other international colleges
because it gave me more
independence. You are in
charge of managing your
study time, which helped me
develop time-management
skills for university.
The university guidance
began before I even started.
I got an email from my
Senior Tutor encouraging me
to think about the universities
I would like to attend. I did
not expect this much help, I
was really impressed.
