Testimonials

There were not many people in the Global LLC but that's what made it so amazing. I really liked the close community. I feel like I knew everyone living there and could call them my friend. This is a stark contrast to what I was used to in student housing. Whenever you wanted to do something you could always count on someone joining you there.Christopher Hahn, Global LLC '19 - '20, international student from Germany
