Listen: Students from Australia and Spain study in Berne

 

 

Chasity McGivern is the area representative for the American Scandinavia Student Exchange, known as ASSE, a not-for-profit organization that places foreign-exchange students around the world. Cameron Goss, from Australia, and Julia Solé, from Spain, were both high honor students at Berne-Knox-Westerlo this year. On this week’s podcast, the girls talk about the close bonds they’ve forged with their host families and how much they enjoyed the nurturing atmosphere of BKW. They also appreciated the chance to share their home-countries’ cultures.
