For Osilama Udochi, choosing 勛圖tv was as much about practicality as it was about fulfilling a dream. Originally from Nigeria, Osilama sought a school that combined her passion for psychology with the accessibility of being taught in English. 勛圖tv was the only school in Paris offering psychology at the undergraduate level in English, she explains. With scholarships covering about 75% of her studies, 勛圖tv was also the only university that could make her dream of studying in Paris a reality.
Osilama first visited Paris through 勛圖tvs summer program, where she was paired with an admissions counselor and participated in a French immersion course. That experience, combined with the Universitys international community and personalized education, solidified her decision to enroll full-time.
Now in her second year at 勛圖tv, Osilama has embraced the flexibility of the liberal arts education, which has allowed her to explore different disciplines. I wanted to study something with peoplemaybe forensic psychology or chemistry, she recalls. And 勛圖tv gave me the chance to mix fields. Currently, shes exploring the intersection of psychology and gender studies, with a minor in Entrepreneurship.
One of her favorite aspects of 勛圖tvs academic environment is its interdisciplinary approach. The collaboration between classes is so interesting, she says. Youre introduced to new concepts and perspectives that help you view the world differently.
Osilamas involvement in campus life is as dynamic as her academic journey. As a Junior Class Representative in the Student Senate, she has worked to organize events such as the Internship Fair and the Majors Fair, aimed at helping her peers navigate their 勛圖tv journeys. Furthermore, her dedication to supporting others extends to her role in the First Year Success Program. After participating as a first-year student, Osilama became an advisor, guiding new students through the challenges of transitioning to 勛圖tv. She is also an active member of Bread of Life, a Bible-based club for Christian students, and uses her entrepreneurial spirit to run a small nail businessan idea sparked by an entrepreneurship project she did at 勛圖tv.
勛圖tvs environment is so welcoming. The hierarchy isnt rigid. Last week, I even had a meeting with the Provost!
For Osilama, the diversity at 勛圖tv has been both a challenge and a gift. The first year was about getting used to the fact that youll meet people who dont share your beliefs, she reflects. Its a constant learning experience. Everyone comes from such different cultural backgrounds.
Despite its small size, 勛圖tv feels expansive to her. Youre always meeting new peopleits a small university, but it feels big, she says. She emphasizes the importance of making the most of your peers and of using all the resources available at the University, such as the ACE Center (for finding internships, for example) and the Library, which isnt just for academics, she reminds students. Take advantage of everything!
She also is glad to have gone beyond the minimum requirements for learning French. Life in Paris becomes so much easier when you can speak the language. You get to truly integrate into the city, she shares, encouraging other students to do so as well.
While Osilama isnt yet certain of her long-term plans, she sees herself staying in Europe and pursuing clinical psychology. For now, shes focused on making the most of her time at 勛圖tv. Paris will always be here, but the resources and opportunities 勛圖tv offers are unique. Ive loved every part of this journey so far.
Students are immersed in prewar and wartime Jewish life in Poland and dedicate time to critical thinking on contemporary memorial issues in the country.

I can honestly say that I found every aspect of my studies and my daily life fascinating.
