travel abroad for studying. And then, they choose to study in Ellensburg . The

people , the low prices , and my government’s recommendation .

One of the most important reasons to choose Ellensburg as a place to
study is the kind people . People in Ellensburg have high moral standards ,
so it is very safe in this city . For example , in larger city students have to be
careful when they walk at night , but in Ellensburg the students can walk
safely at night . Additionally, the people in Ellensburg respect other religions
compared to people in some other cities . For instance , the international
center has allocated a place for Arab students to pray . It cooperates with all
of the Muslim students who have come from other countries . This will make
the students feel comfortable, so they will study hard and do their best . In
addition , the people can understand foreign cultures . You won’t feel that you
are a stranger in this city . The people show respect for you and your culture .
They ask to understand . For example , a women has asked me why I put head
covering and she are very polite when they ask. As result , the kind people are
a very important factor to choose Ellensburg for studying . If you find good
people where you study, you will feel comfortable, like you are at hom.

Another reason that attracts the students to Ellensburg is the low prices .
In Ellensburg city you won’t spend a lot of your money because the prices are
very low compared with many cities in U.S . Also taxes aren’t high in
Ellensburg city . In addition the prices of apartments for rent are very low.
You can rent an apartment with two bedrooms for 650 . And you can find
other apartments for less than this price . Otherwise Ellensburg doesn’t have
a lot of entertainment places . That will make you save your money and you
will occupy yourself studying . Some students prefer cities that don’t have
many entertainment places because then they don’t spend lots of money . I
think Ellensburg is a good city to save your money, and become a successful
person in your studying.

The strongest reason that makes Saudi students come to Ellensburg to
study is their government’s recommendation . Most of the Saudi students who
study in Ellensburg have a scholarship . The government cares about two
things , students’ majors and preventing too many Saudi students from going
to one school. Before sending students ,the government first looks at the
student’s majors and recommends a university that has same the major . The
government sends Saudi student to CUW for the paramedics , education ,
health sciences majors that it offers . Additionally , Ellensburg city didn’t have
many Saudi students so the government decided to send some of the students
to this city . In fact, the government cares so much about safety , so it send the
students to safe cities ,including Ellensburg . But it doesn’t care about prices .
I think the students who came to Ellensburg have a good luck . They could find
their majors at a safe and inexpensive city easily.

studying . I think Ellensburg city is a good city for studying .If you want to
save your money and feel comfortable and you want to go a government
recommended school , you have to choose Ellensburg city.
