"It's essential to get the feel of what happens around the world.
You just don't get that feel in the classroom. Friendships can occur
spontaneously. You learn more with a new perspective."
COLLIN LIEVENSE, 16
La Crescenta
"We meet many new friends, get experiences and learn a lot about
American culture."
JAN CZYPIONKA, 16
Marburg, Germany
"It broadens your horizons in understanding people and other
cultures. I want to go and learn how Germans live their lives."
BRYCE FARRINGTON, 15
La Crescenta
"It's a positive experience and it's different. For me or the
Americans, we are interested in how the other lives."
