# [Student Spotlight: Andrei Marcu, Class of 2018](https://blog.johncabot.edu/degree-seeking/student-spotlight-andrei-marcu-class-of-2018)

My name is Andrei Marcu and I am a Romanian student [majoring in Marketing](http://www.johncabot.edu/academics/majors-minors/study-abroad-marketing-degrees.aspx) at John Cabot University. This is my second semester here, and I can truly say that John Cabot really makes a difference. From the moment I stepped on campus I could feel the positive energy coming from the people working and studying here. Everyone is friends with everyone.

As a student that transferred to JCU from another American university, I have seen that JCU offers countless opportunities to students. The diversity on campus is truly amazing; students come here to study from all over the world. JCU also provides opportunities for students to learn outside of the classroom. My [student assistant position](http://www.johncabot.edu/admissions/financial-aid-and-scholarships/work-study.aspx)in the Marketing and Admissions office has allowed me to gain practical marketing experience, and as a marketing degree seeker, I think there is no better way that a university could prepare me better for the real world.

John Cabot is really a university that makes you feel secure and ensures that you are ready to deal with real life and real problems. The [Center for Career Services](http://www.johncabot.edu/about_jcu/center-for-career-services/default.aspx) gave me the opportunity to participate in the Career Fair, where I had the chance to practice my interview skills by conducting a few informal interviews with real employers. Those informal interviews led to formal interviews with some of the companies from the Career Fair, which may lead to a job. JCU has already allowed me to overcome my fear of formal interviews, and has made me confident that I will be able to find a job quickly after graduation.

I have only been at JCU for one semester so far, but JCU has given me countless opportunities to enrich my academic experience. The small-sized classes have been perfect for me, allowing me to get to know my professors and receive personal attention whenever I encounter a problem. As a non-native English speaker, the [Writing Center](http://www.johncabot.edu/academics/writing-center.aspx) and the Tutoring Center have been my best friends. The professors and students who work in these centers have been a huge help every time I had trouble understanding something and was unable to ask my professor.  JCU even gave me an opportunity to stand a few feet away from His Holiness the Dalai Lama at the Nobel Peace Summit!

I am amazed at how much John Cabot has helped me as a student in only one semester, and I am looking forward to seeing what is going to happen in the future.
