Dreaming Big!

Studying away from home in another country can be an exhilarating experience that broadens the mind and career opportunities.  It can also expand one's perspective of different cultures.

Ali Karaki, a fourth-year Computer Science student has maintained a perfect 13.0 GPA average over the last three years -- the highest GPA among the University's international student population.  Karaki was selected in his first year to work with computer science professor, Dr. Richard Frost and a group of students on a research paper.  Then, following a co-op term at Research in Motion, he was offered full-time work with the company beginning in September 2011.

Karaki says that he admires this culture and country.  "Being here has allowed me to be the person I want to be and to dream big.  I couldn't have gotten to this point of success if I were to do my undergraduate in my country."

UWindsor offered the right program and a co-op option at reasonable fees for international students, he says, and the chance to talk with professors one-on-one.
