levyMatthieu Levy, France

I studied in the University Preparation Program at ELI because I wanted to study music at a university in Boston. This program helped me to achieve the English level and TOEFL score I needed to enter the University. The ELI staff helped me to research what universities would be best for me to study at. They also helped me apply to the universities. This was a great help for me to start to reach my educational and professional goals.
