Interviewed by Elizaveta Dyachuk

Icon: How did you hear about ONU?
Anna: I’d had no idea that I would study at ONU before the YEAR Program (Year of Exchange in America for Russians), I am a participant of, announced the university I would go to. ONU is a small local university, that’s why even when I got the results, I still had no clue where I would go to. So, I googled it and came across ONU social media that surprised me in a good way with the activity there.

ONU student Elizaveta Dyachuk from Russia says: "Americans are very much like Russians, but smile more frequently"
Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, February 21, 2020

Elizaveta Dyachuk
English pronunciation:  Liza (pronounce like Lisa but with Z)
Nationality: Russian
Year at ONU: Junior
Major at ONU: Business Management  

Icon: How did you hear about ONU?
Liza: It’s the most popular question that I get here! People are always wondering: How did you end up choosing ONU in the corn fields?! I got lucky that my program, I am a part of (The YEAR Program), has chosen it for me because otherwise, I’d do a bad job, just selecting the well-known one. Ohio Northern is a great place to study.
