Hi!

I heard about RCC from a friend. She always talks about how RCC is friendly and good. So when i had some conflicts with my old college from the different state, I decided to transfer to RCC and found out that all the good things that she was talking about were correct. People here in MN are very frinedly and kind. They helped me with everything, such as helping me moving the house, giving me funitures etc etc. My experiences were so positive that i don’t even want to transfer from RCC anymore after I’m done with my AAS Degree.

Hi! My name is Yi Mon!

I came to USA about a year ago. I found out about RCC on the internet and RCC seems very very peaceful. So I called the International Office in RCC and met my international student advisor Mel Morem. She helped me a lot and she cares about all the international students.When I landed on the USA, the school picked me up. All of the teachers and staff in RCC are very kind and friendly. Shortly after i fell in love with American culture and freedom.
