is a medium sized university. [00:00:03]

12% of them were international students,[00:00:09]
mostly graduate students. [00:00:12]
The University has schools for law, medicine, and social work. [00:00:14]
It also has a Business School, a School of Design and [00:00:19]
Visual Arts, and a School of Engineering and Applied Science. [00:00:22]
But more than 60% of courses are taught Arts and [00:00:27]
Sciences program. [00:00:31]
The new school year that begins this fall will cost [00:00:33]
about $50,000 for undergraduates. [00:00:36]

as many American students do.[00:01:33]
