So I said to myself that I had to try it. I went over here and here I am. — Jacob Porse I wanted to experience a foreign country i! with a different culture than my home coun- | try. It gave me a good chance to learn English | better, meet new people, and see and do new | things. I have been curious about the U.S.A. — Marit Tangen I had visited the U.S. before and liked it a lot. When I then got the opportunity to become an exchange student, I took it also to try something new and different from my school in Denmark.
