BC A International A New Experience BCA lnternational students have the chance to learn and ex- perience a whole new culture. When the students join the pro- gram they can never be sure what to expect. They only know that it holds a promise of adventure. They experience an entirely dif- ferent philosophy of education. The things they took for granted in their own countries are no longer available such as the warm milk that Adela longs for. Yet they get through it all with a surprising amount of energy.
