ELS Student Story: Cedric at ELS/Ruston

August 11, 2017

Cedric, an ELS student from Côte d'Ivoire, has recently graduated from ELS/Ruston and will start university study at Louisiana Tech University in September!

Cedric said, “The U.S. has one of the best universities that teaches Architecture. With ELS I can study English and Ruston has many opportunities because here after ELS, I can pay in-state tuition at Louisiana Tech."

Cedric began ELS at level 108 and quickly excelled through the program in five months.

About his experience at ELS/Ruston, Cedric said, “When we ask questions [the teachers] are eager to respond and to help us. My friends are from many backgrounds, so we have a chance to get used to different accents. We also have activities, and games every session.”

Now that Cedric has graduated from ELS, he is looking to study Architecture and will start his university study in September at Louisiana Tech University.

ELS/Ruston is located in the northern hills of Louisiana on the campus of Louisiana Tech University. While at ELS/Ruston, students can enjoy weekend visits to New Orleans and Dallas, or participating in activities like hiking, biking and fishing. To learn more about ELS/Ruston, click here!
