| What students in BMCC Language Immersion for International Students say |
“Although BMCC LIIS is designed with the goal to help students who don’t speak English as a first language to improve their English skills, please, beware of limiting yourself to only becoming literate. BMCC LIIS not only helps you reach your goal of beginning to study in your major for your unlimited future potential, but it also helps you grow up as a member of this community. The program gave me so much and meant everything, just like my family. Grab the chance, be active, and dream for your future everyday; then one day, you will get whatever you want now.”
- Sang Hyuk Kim
