A Look Back
| * What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? | Overall, I believe everyone should take advantage of the exchange program because it truly opens your mind, eyes and ears. You become aware of everything, get exposed to various cultures and you become a man or a woman rather then a school kid. |
