Student Testimonies

With no doubt I can tell that the Intensive English Program(I.E.P.) at University of Dallas is one of the best. I could tell that I learned more there than in all the years studying English at my country. Their innovative focus skill method along with their creative and dynamic group of teachers give me a perfect environment to improve my English and let me take the TOEFL exam at the end of the third month. It was marvelous!
I really suggest to anyone!

One of the best English program I had taken. I really enjoy the experience of learning a language with people around the world and sharing culture. I strongly recommend this experience.

My experience at the University of Dallas was my first and best one in this State. I came to the US on September 8th 2004, I started with the IEP on september 23rd, 2004. My first language is French, when I started the IEP program at U. Dallas, the only english I knew was "good morning, my name is Mame, and thank you very much". I started with two great listening teachers, Jennifer and Josh, a great team. They were patient and caring with us. They took the time necessary to make sure we understood everything.

Today, January 15, 2008, I already have my associates degree in science, I just started the school of nursing, going for a bachelor degree in nursing.

In this program you mix learning with fun and that was the best part of it. The movies we used to watch during listening class were great. The first time i watch "Sister Act" by Whoppie Goldbert was with Jennifer. We wrote down the lyrics of the movies and i still have those with me. That experience made me buy the movie to have something to remind me of the IEP.

The reading experiment with Jay, the writing class with Susan everything was awesome. Every now and then we would have parties such like the Thanksgiving parties where everyone had to bring some kind of food from their country, or the christmas party at Susan's house. I have the pictures and the videos to remind me of those wonderful moments.
