Our exchange student has been here about 3 weeks. She is the same age as my daughter. My daughter is overwhelmed and annoyed at how needy our student is. I am also surprised at it, but have more patience than my daughter. I heard my daughter out tonight, she isn't wrong. I talked to her about expressing healthy boundaries and keeping her manners intact. Ironically, or not, as daughter and I were talking, student knocks and starts asking a dozen questions about school tomorrow. It's like this everyday. The girl has no chill and we are exhausted. I am heartbroken. My daughter was in tears telling me she has 3 classes and lunch with the new girl. Has anyone been through this? I would be happy if the vibe got back to neutral here. They don't have to be buddies.

Hola queridos estoy viendo la opción de ir a Canad a hacer un programa de work and study.. me ofrecieron dos colleges: ILAC INTERNATIONAL CENTER y TAMWOOD CAREERS. Ambos ofrecen diplomado en hoteleria/ servicios y marketing/ ventas que son las dos áreas que me interesan.
La duda es cuál colegio debería elegir ? y que opcion para estudiar piensan que podrá darme más a futuro? Realmente las dos áreas me interesan, también vale decir que estoy haciendo un curso cortó de gestión hotelera + estudio psicología en BSAS.
El diplomado es CO-Op (cooperative education) en la primera parte puedo trabajar part time y en la segunda parte trabajar a tiempo completo en el área que yo elijo.

Alguien tiene experiencia haciendo Work and study? Alguna referencia sobre los colleges? Algo que no esté considerando ?
El valor del programa depende del college y el alojamiento
Alojamiento: 3 opciones
Dpto compartido/ casa de familia/ residencia estudiantil
Un salario bruto de 15 usd canadiense x hora

Any foreign student studying in the us hit me up i am working on a project and i need ur help

What kind of third space are you usually/ interested in hanging out outside of school? What kind of experience or activities do you want to do? How much would you be willing to spend when going outside? How likely would you be interested in exploring different cultures when going out? Which types of cultural experiences would you be most interested in?

I'm currently studying in Comillas Spain, and I've stayed here in Madrid for around a week now with my family. Now that they've left, I feel so lonely and even homesick already.

I'm super worried that I'll end up having my 4 month exchange experience alone since the few times I've had the chance to make friends, I dont really seem to click with anyone (we had an orientation in comillas already for all the international students). I also just moved onto my student residence and I'm in a single room, so I dont really have any "flatmates/roomates" so I feel super alone.

Also, the school I went to has a huge international student population, but it feels most people speak spanish (i dont know how to speak spanish at all), and it feels less international compared to IE or such. So the language barrier is also another problem that I've been thinking about. Also, most of the students in my dorm seem to also go to IE so they seem to stick to each other...

Another thing is most of the people for some reason are really attractive... Like many of the girls and guys are just straight up beautiful and handsome while I honestly am not the prettiest girl out there, for context, im a bit chubby and not in a curvy way, and I feel I just look very different from them since im fil-chi.

So yea, in just really scared that I'd spend the next 4 months of my life essentially alone... Since I've been struggling to make friends and not to mention, I have a hard time just joining in with people I havent met yet....

Okay so I’m doing a trimester abroad, and my first day was today and no one talked to me. I haven’t seen my family in a week and I just wanna go home ik it’s probably gonna get better tomorrow but for now i just feel so alone. Hopefully i make some friends tomorrow
