Students study government in Washington Three students traveled to Corona, and seventeen students traveled to Washington D.C. through travel programs. Irene Madsen from Denmark, Briony Lidstone from South Africa and Tuuli Suvanto from Finland, attended Corona through special programs. According to them, there are distinct differences between schools in their home countries and here. They all agreed that the schools here aren't as strict as their home schools. There they were uniforms, no make-up, no jewelry, everything is more strict, Briony said. According to Tuuli, the schools and teachers in Finland are more strict. There are no student- teacher relationships. In Denmark the social life is a lot different, Irene said. We don't date in Denmark. We go out in groups to dances and meet guys. Reasons for coming to America varied between the students. America is something so dif- ferent, you read about it, and you always think of America as a dream, Briony said. l also wanted to meet the people and see the country. Tuuli decided to come here to become more independent. lt will be hard to leave America, because l won't know if l'll be coming back. Tuuli said. lt's different, Irene said. l 120 FEATURE don't know if l'd like to live here. Your life is so easy, there is so much to make your life here easier.
