Alice Hudson – Australia

Why did you decide to become a foreign exchange student?

I just kind of wanted to take a break and like I really wanted to come to an English speaking country because I’m bad at learning other languages.

Has this been like what you expected?  What did you expect?

I kind of thought it would be more cliquey. Like there aren’t groups because you don’t know everybody.

What is different from your home country?

The way people speak is a lot more different here. Everything is a lot more casual. People aren’t as formal in the way they talk or dress. Schools are also a lot smaller.

Was is hard to make the transition from your home country to America?

No.

What do you think of the fact that LN has a strong exchange student program?

It’s kinda good. I think it’s cool because people know who you are. People here expect a lot of foreign exchange students and get hyped about it.
