Exchange student 2000-2001
I was an exchange student with STS in the schoolyear of 2000-2001 and went from the Netherlands to the USA. I left on august 18th 2000, which was too late to attend the Welcome orientation days in New York, but i still had an amazing year which couldn't have been better than the way it turned out. Beforehand STS had an information night and i also needed to do an interview in English. Afterwards i eventually got accepted and they found me a host family 2 weeks before i left. I was placed in the small town of North Fond du Lac, Wisconsin and had a blast. Even now, 23 years later, still so many memories and mutiple times i visited after my exchange year for reunions, weddings and also friends and host family members that have visit me here in my country. Its a year in a life but you take it with you for the rest of your life. Im also still in touch with my area representative, Calla Kuehl, who was someone from another organisation that was my go to person when i had questions of things that needed being taken care of. She is the best. Its been an amazing experience and if you have the chance to take it, please do! You'll love it.
