Class of 2024!
Congratulations, and welcome to your campus, your home for the next four years!Houston International Institute, Dalian Maritime University is the place that you will have the opportunity to learn new things, improve your personality, and develop new skills that will equip you for your future life. At the same time, you will make some friends who will become your lifetime friends, with whom you will share memories of college days for many years to come（听起来小编心里好暖呀）. This is the place that demands you to listen to others, while their points of view may change yours. This is the place that demands you to observe, and the observations may generate new ideas. This is the place that demands you to work in a group in and after class, and the discussions may help broaden your new horizons（跟小编一起唱，团结就是力量）. This is the place that demands you to embrace difference all the time, you will get a better understanding of yourself and those who are different to you. This is the place that you will understand cultural differences, which will open you up to a new world of experiences. I wish you all have a wildly successful college life here!（谢谢冰冰老师）“Start here, go anywhere.”

（来自学长的学习经验分享）It’s very lucky for me to have the opportunity to conduct my research at UH as an exchange student. During the studying in UH, what impressed me the most is the comfortable academic atmosphere. The UH has a variety of academic andexperimental resources that helps me solve different issues in my researchers, and I have honed my skills through a multitude of opportunities to conduct faculty-mentored research projects. Nearly every week, the experts in different fields are invited by different departments to give the students excellent academic presentations. Attending these seminars can not only extend my knowledge in the professional fields, but also increase my academic communication ability. This is the first time that I study abroad, so I am finding this experience very valuable.
It is too short to describe my feelings about the UH. Finally, I wish the students who would like to join us will have wonderful days in the UH.
