Testimonials

One of the best things that happened to me is that I joined the soccer team and to practice a lot. I am very happy with my host family because on the weekends we do many things together. I can talk with them about everything.                                                                                     Markus from Germany I have a very good relationship with my host family because they always make me feel at home. At the school I really feel good. I like my classes and I really found a lot of friends. I go with them to the beach, to parties and they sometimes come to my house to do homework. Last Saturday I went with my friends to South Beach. We had fun. We also visited downtown Miami.                                                                                     Maria Pia from Italy I am so happy because I do many activities with my host sister. We go to the same school, we have the same friends, and we go together to different activities and parties. It is a lot of fun!!! Everything is new for me so I cannot say what it is the best. I am so happy and I am very glad that I made the decision to come to Miami.                                                                                      Kristina from Austria
