In expressing how ASA has benefited them, members of ASA cannot hide their joy.

Albert Essuman

Culverhouse School of Accountancy, UA
Settling in an entirely new environment is not always smooth and that was my expectation coming to UA. However, ASA made it seamless for me. From airport pick-up to finding and furnishing my apartment, the team was very obliging.

Modern Languages (French), UA
ASA has been a home away from home for me and many others regardless of what part of Africa we hail from. From smooth airport pickup to settling us in comfortably, ASA has created a sense of belonging and love for me and my family. In French I say “Chapeau bas” to the Great ASA.

Michael Waithaka
Kenya
Aerospace Engineering, UA
Since August 2021, I’ve been a member of ASA and I have acquired tremendous academic, social, and financial literacy through the association. As African students, we have formed such warm bonds here that I can call it my home away from home. It has been a great experience working with the ASA and I highly recommend it to others.

Kabirat Temitope Babalola

Interdisciplinary Studies (Advance Drug Delivery, UA
My ASA experience started from the moment I knew I was coming to UA. ASA guided my search for accommodation, picked me from the airport and gave me the opportunity to build friendship which I hope to enjoy for the rest of my life.
Thank you ASA
