John Paul Asuncion

I currently work as a Teller for a representative office of the Philippine National Bank. I originally moved to Italy to be with my family, where I started work in a restaurant just outside of Rome.

I chose to study with Arden University because Arden gave me the option to study in English through Distance Learning while still being able to balance my busy lifestyle. (There aren’t many places in Italy where you can study in English through Distance Learning.) It was important that I could still work in my current job while getting the qualifications I need to progress in my career.

When I first started at Arden University, I found it a little overwhelming. It had been about 5 years from when I started the course to when I was last in education. The first module helped me to develop my research skills and to apply academic skills such as time management, problem solving, critical thinking, etc. It meant that I was well-prepared for when the next modules started.

The best thing about studying with Arden is accessibility. I am able to contact student support easily and I always get a quick response back.

Studying with Arden will help me to advance my career further in the industry I am working in. I want to move to a department where I can apply the attributes that I refined at Arden.

Would you recommend studying with Arden University?

I would recommend studying with Arden University, the flexible study mode makes it possible to study while earning money. Being able to manage your own time between work and study is a great bonus.

It has been nothing but a positive experience. It’s been great meeting fellow students who are all in the same boat. I am very grateful for this opportunity and I look forward to what Arden has to offer next.
