ELA DePaul is Great

I'm so grateful to spend my two terms as a student in ELA class and it was my best choice ever in order to sharpen my English skills before jumping into the college in the USA. ELA DePaul has prepared me nicely by covering all English skills comprehensively through its talent, professional, and respectful instructors. Through Research activity in University Bridge class, I have been brought to my chosen major, that is Kellstadt Graduate Business School as an HR student. Thank you ELA and all my beloved teachers. Loving Greetings, Sr. Margaretha
