The University of South Carolina has a big campus with diverse colleges, research units and many activities for students, faculty and the general public. [...] I particularly enjoyed the sense of community inside the university, everybody being helpful and polite, and the structure that made the work process clear and easy to follow. It's been a great pleasure to get to know better a society which functions well as a whole, which invests in research and earns in innovation.

The Fulbright program was my first physical contact with the United States’ society, and it was a wonderful experience for me and my family. We stayed in the South Carolina state. I worked in its main university, and the kids went to a very nice local school, where they made friends and learned a variety of things. The University of South Carolina has a big campus with diverse colleges, research units and many activities for students, faculty and the general public. While being there I interacted with some of the colleges’ departments and with two User Experience Labs. I particularly enjoyed the sense of community inside the university, everybody being helpful and polite, and the structure that made the work process clear and easy to follow.
It’s been a great pleasure to get to know better, not just through the media or the film industry, a society which functions well as a whole, which invests in research and earns in innovation. A big “thanks” to the Fulbright program.
