What inspires you about Spokane?

I am not a fan of big cities or small towns.

Spokane is a mix of city sparkle and countryside
beauty. I really like that. Additionally, the
cultural diversity of the city makes it an easy
place for an international student to adapt to.

Location Spokane is on the eastern side of Washington State in the northwest corner of
the United States. The city is small enough to be friendly, but large enough
to find plenty to do. In addition, Spokane is close to forests, rivers, lakes, and
skiing in the winter. Its a beautiful place to study.

Community Both campuses have active International Clubs, as well as clubs committed to
celebrating specific cultures or languages, such as the Asian Club, the Arab
Culture Club, the Spanish Club, and more. The Student Government hosts
films, parties, concerts, recognized speakers and other on-campus activities.

The Global Caf program connects international students with American

students, to learn about each others culture and become friends. If you are

Why did you choose CCS?

I chose to study at CCS because it offered an

alternative, distinct college experience. I did not
know the city of Spokane before I came here
but it is not crowded, there are shockingly nice
people, spectacular natural sceneries and great
educational resources here.
