"...Be prepared to meet many new people and to develop a closer bond with
[people] much faster than you would under normal circumstances despite having different cultures and speaking different languages. I began the program at
Université Laval without knowing one person, but I left with 28 lifelong friends. I feel that I have forever been changed for the better. I took a little piece of everyone in the program with me, and I gave a piece of myself to them".
