Interaction with many different cultural societies. As a new student, I questioned my decision to leave my home and the safety of my homeland. As I entered this strange new world, I remained very distant from everyone. But, within the first week of being alone in this new environment. I was welcomed and accepted by everyone I met. This new location, turned into a new home. The campus, people and standards of living were very positive. I was no longer a stranger, in foreign land.
There are many different Indigenous cultures in this little community. We are different, but all the same. My knowledge gained from different people, was that we have many similar background history and society values. These are valued as treasured in the knowledge I have gained in one year. I respectfully encourage my younger generation to seek education and knowledge of the many amazing people in our world, locally and international. My world has changed to a happy and positive outlook on life.

The On-line experience was very traumatic. Because it was during a Pandemic. The experience was very sudden, and right in the middle of the semester. Having to deal with the pandemic, and moving to a different environment (home) was not expected. So, during the transition from campus life to home, was sudden and this brought upon me anxiety and fear of the virus (covid-19). So, consequently it was rather difficult at first to get into a new classroom environment. At first is was frustrating; I have to admit my interest was totally not there. I had to recondition my mind to focus on the instructions on-line. I did not like the fact that the in person (one -one) instruction was no longer available. However, once the impact subsided I was able to accept the On-line classroom setting. Considering this being the first time learning in this manner and unprepared; I was able to complete the semester. So, with this experience, I am confident that I can continue the education online.
Great school, affordable and economical. I transferred to IAIA and the admissions process was easy and they helped me, however it is a very small school with around 500 students so campus life is what you make it. Academically all of the classes are 3 credit hours, however being an art school the work load amounts to a 4 credit class. The campus is accommodating for a student body of 500, especially the classrooms as most if not all classes are at 15 or below enrollment. Being a student that lives in the residence center offers a perspective to the school as you are right along with your peers. The dorms are small with one widow, however each does offer your own private bathroom and central air system which is a plus in New Mexico heat. The student body is very diverse, being a tribal college, a majority of the student population is Native American. However IAIA does offer enrollment to non-natives and even has a few international students from Japan, Germany and Peru.
