    The International Student Experience

    The International Student Experience

    At FHSU, you will find a friendly atmosphere and faculty and staff who care about every student. Located on the high plains in the middle of the United States, Hays, Kansas, is a warm and welcoming college town. Hays is the cultural center for the western half of Kansas, a great small American town that hosts a number of annual events, including live music, theatre performances, art exhibits, cultural festivals, and FHSU Tiger athletes compete every fall, winter, and spring in 16 NCAA Division II sports.

    No, I had no idea what I was going to be like, and it definitely, like exceeded my expectations.

    The relationship was really good, pretty good. Since I'm here, I've never experienced bad thing. They are really supportive. They're always willing to help, even if you email them or you call them they will automatically answer, and they will always be here for you. So that's a good thing.

    Oh, when I took English second language classes, it was the happiest time to me, because the teacher not only touch as the English skills, but also make me feel warm and happy.

    I've been able to build a lot of friendships, both in and outside campus. I've been able to connect with people through the Hays library, the Bread Coffee House. Even the local churches around here like they've been really helpful and yeah,

    Why Fort Hays? It's amazing. That's the one word that I have for Fort Hays. The classes are amazing. The staff members, the professor's there-- everyone is so nice. And you will have the best time of your of your life here
