As an international student, Nithin Palyam felt embraced by 皇家华人鈥檚 culture, which emphasizes inclusion, leadership and student success. Palyam鈥檚 college experience was his first time abroad and initially he was timid as a first-year student. Once he learned about the many student organizations and academic opportunities at 皇家华人, Palyam found himself immersed in a community of student leaders. As a computer science major in the College of Engineering and Student Government president, Palyam is a true reflection of his parents (his mother is a mayor and his father works in civil engineering). His goal is to complete his bachelor鈥檚 degree and join India鈥檚 growing technology industry as an international business leader. 鈥淚 feel like I am right where I have to be for that dream to come into action,鈥� Palyam said.
