TESTIMONIALS
AHMED SAFIANU SALEH (Nigerian)
Successfully transferred credits to Embry Riddle Aeronautical University
(Ranked Number 1 for Aviation) (Intake: Spring 2010)
“ADTP at Sun-U was worth passing through because the lecturers are friendly and they are
willing to help me academically. I’ve also met people from different nationalities and I’m
able to strengthen friendship with them”.
“Being in the ADTP at Sun-U genuinely prepared me for the prospects that lay ahead. The
program makes sure that you are well equipped to undertake whatever it is that lies ahead and
it also leaves you with treasured experiences and memories. The hefty task of selecting the ideal
university, sending in applications, and attending visa interviews were made considerably easier
with the help of the ADTP staff. The resources and information made available to students made
this substantial task much easier to handle.”
“It’s not an overstatement to say that American education helps produce well-rounded students:
you’re not going to just study courses within your major; you will need to expose yourself to other
subjects and fields as part of the curriculum...expand your horizons! Since the ADTP at Sun-U has
a relatively small community, you’re more likely to get personal attention from your teachers.
I’ve certainly made friends from across the board, from aspiring psychologists and journalists to
potential engineers and financial analysts. Sunway is filled with opportunities and challenges.
Seize every moment to discover who you are, keep an open mind with a willingness to learn. I’ve
watched myself grow so much here, and I’m sure you will too.”
“Sun-U’s ADTP provided me with interactive and intellectually stimulating classes, taught by highly
qualified lecturers. I made many great friends and engaged in extra-curricular activities. These
experiences helped me transfer to a prestigious university in the US. Sun-U provided me with an
incredible experience, without which I believe I would not be where I am today!”
“I extremely enjoyed the wonderful times that I had with the faculty, students and even the ever-
so-cheerful administrative staff. The learning experiences were incredibly fun and I really had a
great time participating in classroom activities as well as ADTP’s events. I think one of the best life
decisions that I’ve ever made is enrolling in Sunway University College’s ADTP!!!”
“I appreciate all the years I spent at Sunway University College. The ADTP provided a
strong foundation for me to further my studies in Canada. The experience I earned
during the 2 academic years at Sun-U was extremely valuable, and every moment I
spent there will enrich my future, academically and personally.”
“Overall, the ADTP at Sun-U was good and enriching. I have to give credit to all the lecturers
for assisting me from the beginning. They were always very friendly and helpful. They did not
restrict themselves to only classroom issues but were always ready to lend a helping hand in
other matters, such as university application. I am assured of the high quality and standard
of the courses taught here as all courses are similar to those offered in WMU. As such,
transferring credits to other reputable universities would be easier. “
