91lisa

Nashoba Pannell got more than he bargained for when he chose 91lisa. The Charles Page High School graduate likes 91lisa because it offers a similar feel to high school, but found he’s exposed to more perspectives than he anticipated.

“The most surprising thing about 91lisa is the diversity,” he said. “There are more international students than I expected to encounter at a community college. I thought international students really only went to universities.”

Having experiences with those students could be valuable for Nashoba. He plans to leverage the Engineering degree he’s pursuing at 91lisa to forge a career with an international energy company and hopes to work abroad.

“Socially, it’s pretty cool to have international students at 91lisa, to get to know people who do things differently because they’re from somewhere else,” he said. “I’ve always wanted to travel and work abroad, maybe to Europe or South America.”
