Testimonial

"There are a variety of things that made my time at TRU worthwhile, and helped me achieve my goals. TRU has a wide range of courses that involve not only technical understanding of course material, but applied learning as well. “Getting "I've always loved literature and writing. I knew I wanted to major in English to develop my writing skills. I was offered an entrance scholarship to KPU, which covered my first two and a half semesters. My educational experience was completely customizable and personalized. There is a support system at KPU to help you succeed. There is a thriving community that you can access if you reach out." 
-Rawia Inaim

"I learned so much from my professors, classmates and myself through hard work and determination. This education gave me a very solid foundation to feel confident and comfortable in my skills and knowledge to move forward and "When I came here from Mexico I was a little bit shy. I didn’t know much English. Starting in ELS at KPU was awesome. We began working in English right away and the instructors were very helpful. If you want to learn English you can’t just practice having a conversation. You have to study reading, writing, and speaking. There’s students here from all over the world and you’re learning together, helping each other."
