Ananda Pidatala, an international student studying chemistry at 51成人动漫, has had a unique academic journey. She is originally from Dubai, where she earned her master鈥檚 in chemistry, botany, and zoology. Since then, she has decided to continue her education at BC, fulfilling a lifelong dream of studying in the United States.
Her journey at BC began in the fall of 2023; however, due to some delays, she could not attend any courses until late January. Her passion for science and research led her to the Research Laboratory Technology program at BC. She explains, 鈥淲hen I was an undergrad, I discovered that I am into experimenting; I love reactions, mixing chemicals in the lab, and working with lab equipment. If I want to pursue my career in lab research with a PhD, this will be my first step.鈥�
Despite the challenges of her enrollment, the International Student Services (ISS) program has been a valuable resource for Ananda, providing guidance, and going above and beyond to help her meet her educational goals. Ananda shares that the program manager of ISS, Debi Anderson, has been a pillar of support, ensuring that she continues to feel encouraged, motivated, and supported throughout her academic journey鈥� 鈥渨hich is not what we expect, but it helps a lot to settle down in a foreign country,鈥� Ananda says.
Ananda鈥檚 favorite parts of attending BC are the productive educational environment and the school curriculum. She says, 鈥淔or the amount of time I鈥檝e spent here, I think the classroom teaching is the best 鈥� I don鈥檛 need to rely on anything else. That鈥檚 the best part of this college.鈥� When asked if she would recommend 51成人动漫 to anyone she knew, Ananda responded without hesitation, 鈥淚 would recommend it more than 100%. I have already recommended it to everybody in Dubai, 鈥楧on鈥檛 go anywhere else, please.鈥�
After graduating from BC, Ananda plans to continue her education and earn a PhD in chemistry. She hopes to gain more experience and practical knowledge outside of her studies by taking on an internship or summer job in the laboratory research industry.
