Student Testimonials

“My time in USA was amazing! I’m so glad that I was surrounded by really nice people like Larry, Ms. Junko, and you. I had a lot of great experiences over there which I’ll never forget”

“The life in usa was the greatest semester in my life. I touched new culture, people, religion and myself. I was able to crush stereotypes and built confidence. All experiences like planning for study abroad, spending time in the unfamiliar place lead to learning. There are so many hints which hard to notice in daily life. However whether that can be learning or challenging depends on how I perceive.  If students can do that It’ll be big profit in their career.”

“The days I spent in America were the best. Everything was full of things for the first time and every day was a lot of fun. I was able to challenge a lot of things because it was different from Japan. I was very happy to have this kind of experience.”

We were less nervous. For two weeks, We were able to spend very pleasant days . When We were concerned, you always supported us and that was very helpful.

”During my stay with you in San Diego, everything I saw with you was brand new and exciting ! I will never forget Oceanside’s view, memories from the Zoo, and morning walks with your dog Opi. Though my talking was poor you and your family were so friendly. To you I can’t thank you enough. 

“ Visiting was a very valuable experience for me. I could feel differences between my hometown and America. Also, I could find that even though I make some grammatical mistakes, people understans what I want to say. So, now I can speak English with CONFIDENCE. “ 

“ I enjoyed meeting all of the animals. I like to talk to you about my college classes, my family, japan, and so on. The breakfast was a wonderful experience. I was able to eat sunny-side up which we used fresh eggs and drink juice, which used fresh-picked oranges. Thank you. “

“Throughout the frost-kissed winter We spent in the United States, my friends Parry and Leo, and I reveled in a carnival of joy, guided by our generous

host Phil and his convivial friend Emmy. Our days unfurled like a vibrant tapestry, stitched together with shared laughter, spontaneous escapades, and

gastronomical delights in the form of diverse and delicious breakfasts. From the glittering panoramas we explored together, to the cozy evenings filled with banter and warmth, each moment sparkled with infectious merriment.

My heart swells with a deep sense of gratitude when I recall this enchanting sojourn, a period that not only gifted me an indelible treasure of memories

but also offered a poignant testament to the beauty of unexpected friendships and shared experiences.”

“ I had an incredible time staying with you and what I experienced in the USA is unique. I tried different things whether the food or the farm lifestyle you have, we went to a hockey game and even witnessed the birth of a baby goat and piggies (CRAZY!) Overall, I am happy and feel so lucky that I can meet you guys, if I have the time I’ll love to go visit you again ! But it doesn‘t make me forget that the food there is 3 times more expensive than in Taiwan. “
