CollegeName: Shijin Thomas
Home Country: India
Program of Study: MBA, Accounting
Shijin's Thoughts About TCB:
" The biggest reason my family and I chose Tobin was because
of the diversity, not only of the University, but of the
surrounding community in Queens, NY. I felt from the start that the
students in my MBA classes embraced my accent and diversity. I have
a lot of interaction with the professors who are also curious about
my background.
Aside from attending school here, I also work in the
Tutoring Center on campus and my boss there has always helped make
me feel comfortable about being here. She always asks about my
family back in India and how they are doing. It is just a really
friendly and accepting place.
Tobin holds so many networking events with professionals
in my major, accounting, so that I have been able to make some
strong contacts. Alumni of the University are always willing to
help future graduates with jobs and that has made me feel very
confident about leaving here and being able to work in my field of
study.”
