What I've done here is unforgettable! I'll have these wonderful memories all my life!"

Amanda Moyer
Amanda is an American member of the International Club.

"My two years at Finlandia have so far created some of the best memories and learning experiences in my life.  The range of international students to learn from and grow with has enhanced every one of those experiences.  I truly appreciate the opportunity to explore and learn from so many cultures in such a vibrant, yet intimately sized, school."
