Meet Our International Students

“Since coming to Belhaven, I've experienced a world of new opportunities including new friendships and cultural experiences. The biggest shock I experienced was the close relationship I had with my professors who knew my name and wanted to develop a relationship with me. I also really enjoyed the Christian perspective in the course work.”
