STEM OPT Extension Advantage for International Students

"After getting home from training with the Army, I saw Stout as an opportunity to utilize my education benefits at a relatively small, military-friendly school. At Stout, I got to know my professors on a personal level. The class sizes worked well for me. And I was also able to participate in some very unusual experiences, such as a Cadaver Dissection class. That class gave me a leg up on some of my medical school classmates."
