My name is Saruta Bualop and I am an international student from Thailand. I enjoy studying at CSM very much. When I first applied for admission, I met the nicest woman at the international office, Maggie Skaff, who helped me to become familiar with the college. I have made a lot of new friends who come from many countries around the world and I have been taught by very good professors who have shown me how to increase my knowledge. I believe that College of San Mateo has helped me to reach my goal because I have not only gained knowledge through books and classes, but I have also made lasting friendships at CSM.
