EIS students in universities

Last year’s Graduate students of Escuela Internacional (EIS) that are in universities say that the university is very different from school. Many of these students studying in United States (USA) came last week, some after their final exams, for summer vacation.

“University is much harder, even though you have fewer classes” said graduate student Oliver Echeverry who now attends Southeastern Louisiana University.

“The teachers are different because many of them don’t care about homework” says graduate Paul Ritter which now attends Perdue University, and added that “they only care about the mid terms tests and the finals tests and projects.”

“You don’t get to know each person in the different classes because there are too many of them. Some classes have about 80 students!” exclaimed graduate Gabriel Aguilar who attends a community college in Baton Rouge Louisiana

“I think university is easier because you have fewer classes” said graduate Henry Romero which now attends Universidad Tecnologica de Honduras (Technology University of Honduras), and adds that “the problem is that if you take fewer classes you are going to take more time to finish your career studying.”

“Some students must have a high grade because that’s the only way they can keep their scholarship or play well so they can still have their sports scholarship” said Paz

2004 graduate students attend many universities from USA and Honduras. “About 90% of the students are continuing their studies in universities” said graduated Andres Paz

“I haven’t been studying because I want to go to France, and I need to study French before going there” said graduate Paola Canahuati.

“I’m working right now because that way I could pay the university” says graduate Henry Romero.

In the class of 2005 seniors more than 50% of the students were accepted in United States universities and colleges. Among them, Student Council president Doris Hernandez was accepted to Harvard University
