DCU in Dublin My experience was is Dublin. I’ve had a lot of fun and also I met amazing people from everywhere. Since I became home I miss all the things of Dublin: my roommates, the terrible food, my classmates, the terrible weather and also the amazing view. Dublin now is my home, and every minutes and every hours I miss it. :)

EF Roma …review EF Roma i appreciate the teaching method it is very active and interesting for us to learn italian. The teachers are also very nice and push us to speak and become better at speaking our new language. EF is also a good environment to meet friends from all over the world and try new activities!

My six months in Alexandria, Louisiana. My American experience in Louisiana was extraordinary. In January 2023 when I was about to leave Italy heading to the USA, I was very excited and joyful, but on the other hand, I was extremely scared owing to the fact that it was my first time doing this kind of activity. Fortunately, my half-year in Louisiana ended up being full of happiness and gratitude for my host family. To be honest, I heard of negative experiences with some students who have participated in this program with EF, but as far as I am concerned, I cannot say anything but thank you so much to my host family, my American and fellow European friends, and all the people who have contributed to the process of making my six months abroad unforgettable and full of great memories. Organizing my daily life, learning a new language, and being responsible for my actions made me independent and a new person. Living in a new city, speaking a new language, and sharing my days with new people helped me find out new aspects of my personality and all these things played a vital role in my personal growth as a person. It might look like a fairy tale, but it was truly a wonderful and educational journey. I have chosen EF because of its great reputation and I would choose EF again for its many opportunities besides one year/half-year program abroad such as signing up for the Ambassador program or the many Summer camps in several places around the world. I tremendously recommend embracing the idea of participating in an exchange year program as I had a stunning experience with EF and this is a life-long experience in terms of making international friendships and discovering new cultures, food, traditions, and people from another country. I'm Italian, but I like the idea of being a European citizen and not being rash, maybe one day a citizen of the world.

Best Year of my Life I have been so lucky that I got the opportunity to do an exchange year in the school year 22/23 with EF and it has been the absolute best thing I’ve ever done! Ever since I signed up for the program they have guided me through the whole process from making my profile so they could look for a great host family for me to all of the paperwork for my visa and making be feel ready for the departure with webinars, things I could read and on top of that there are some meeting both before, doing and after the exchange where I met a bunch of amazing new friends who where going through the same exiting emotions as me. EF has a really great website for the profile I made where I just needed to write a bunch about myself and this ended with me getting matched with such an amazing host mom and double placement from Austria in Vermont. I had honestly never heard of this state before but it has now turned into my second home. I could not have asked for a better place to be. My host mom is the kindest and one of the most energetic people I know. I had zoomed a bit with her beforehand and I felt at home with her just a few days after I got there. I did not know what to expect when I was told I would have a double placement and we had to share room but I really loved it. We complimented each other well and I am so grateful I have made all these wonderful memories with her, my now sister. We went to a very tiny school with only 70 kids in the high school and which was not what I had expected but I do not care that there was not American football or cheerleading because I got the experience of a very small community coming together. There was even made a special class called Cultural Perspectives for the students because we could help and share some similarities/differences. I am very happy I chose EF and something special about them is that they are both EF in the host country as well as in the host countries. This makes sure that they know exactly what is going on which is very helpful. Through this I have learned more than I can express but a few examples could be my improved English together with how I have grown personally. I am now more outgoing willing to try new things, be spontaneous, be outdoorsy and then I have learned more about myself and my abilities and I have pushed limits.

Wonderful experience Hii! I had a really wonderful experience with EF, especially in Malta. The school and the staff was super organized and also super kind!
