I’ve been studying at Haigazian University for less than two years now. I already feel as if I was born on its campus, and into a unique family of professors and students. The latter have become more like my brothers and sisters. I’ve been running through a fulfilling dynamic experience for the past couple of years, enjoying every moment, and every memory I’ve had the chance to live in the various Student Life Clubs. On the academic side, I heard stories about how hard it is to succeed at Haigazian, and the university has fully risen to its reputation. But such an exceptional education demands hard work. I’ve come to deeply appreciate what Haigazian offers and respect its academic requirements knowing that such standards set the road to becoming a truly qualified graduate. Furthermore, playing on Haigazian’s basketball team has developed in me a sense of loyalty towards the university displayed both on and off the court. In short, I’d describe these last two years as a rollercoaster ride. One with ups and downs, a few bumps and falls, yet with many elevating and pleasing, delightful moments. I don’t know whether I’d get off the ride wanting to get back on, but I’m sure I’d be pleased and honored to have embarked and finished such an ecstatic journey. I’m proud of being a Haigazian student, and I’m more than thankful for this remarkable experience….

I came to Haigazian as a foreign student who did not know a single person.  Now, after completing one semester, I have become an active member in four clubs at Haigazian and experienced everything from caving and planting trees to leading a chapel service and writing for the school magazine.  I have gone from not knowing a single person to feeling like Haigazian is a second home.  I have had the opportunity to take many interesting classes within my major of political science and found the students and professors to be very interested in issues in a real way that goes beyond the classroom.  For example, I got to take a class on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict with a professor who has actually spent time there, talking with the people and researching and writing articles.  If you are willing to be open to diverse opinions and work hard, Haigazian is a place where you can build meaningful relationships and discover opportunities that will change your life.

Haigazian University has a highly recognized and appreciated reputation, unlocking many doors for all those who bear its name on their CVs.
Glancing back at my university years, I remember with admiration the dedication of many faculty and staff members. Over four years, I exploited the resources provided to me at Haigazian University and grew tremendously, on both Academic and Social grounds. Real life experiences and hardship at Haigazian University are designed to mold leaders, ready to excel outside the secure walls of the University.
Haigazian University continues to amaze me, even after my graduation by the wonderful and supportive alumni office and its dedication to serve its graduates.

A University that believes in a student’s potential and encourages him or her to follow his or her dream, is somehow every University’s motto. However, few are the ones who truly apply it in reality, and Haigazian University is one of those few.
I, Zeina Daccache, came to Haigazian University after completing my BA in Theatre Studies at a different University. In 2006 I was looking for a University to achieve my Master Degree in Clinical Psychology. I was faced with many obstacles including hearing: “But Zeina you cannot do a Masters
in Psychology that easily” “ You need to have a BA in Psychology before doing a Masters”; and “Anyway what is this whole Drama Therapy thing you want to implement in Lebanon? It doesn’t exist”. These were the answers I was getting in my search from various universities. However, at Haigazian I was faced with teachers and Drs. telling me: “Of course we know Drama Therapy”; and “Yes you need to do a Masters in Clinical Psychology”. And it didn’t end there. As soon as I started my studies at Haigazian, I also understood that I can refer to my teachers with any questions or doubts I have at work. Their generosity in following up with every single student was a new thing to me and it encouraged me to challenge myself in my work and career.

I am proud to say I studied at Haigazian and this experience was and will continue to be a very constructive one that shaped my spirit, career, and continuous ambition.
