WRITTEN BY: MARIANO AGUILAR, B.S. MICROBIOLOGY & CELL SCIENCE, ALUM
My experience as an international UF Online student has been one of the best of my life. I had already studied biology at the University of South Florida in Tampa, but I moved back to Peru to take care of my loved ones. To support my family, I became an entrepreneur and founded GMAT Dudes, a Test Prep academy in Lima. Then, I got married and started a new life in Peru.
