What were you expecting before you got here?

“I guess it was having the ‘High School Experience’ like you see in the movies.” — Sofia Galstyan (Ireland)

What surprised you about the school?

“It’s bigger than most schools in Nepal.” — Shamikshya (Sami) Basnet (Nepal)

“It was very big and the people were very nice.” — Finn Joshua (Switzerland)

What surprised you about U. S. culture?

“I didn’t expect to see so many American flags. In seven days I spotted 60.” — Alexander Koenig (U. K.)

What did you hear about Americans before you came here?

“I heard that everyone drives around all the time in massive pickup trucks and SUVs or super fancy sports cars, and it turned out to be true.” Alexandra Koenig (U. K.)

“I heard the Americans were bad at geography and that you guys wear shoes in the house.” — Anya Kozina (Ukraine)

SGA hosted a movie night on Jan. 23 where International Summit guests and their hosts got together.

They watched “Frozen 2” on the big screen in the gym after a tailgate in the bus loop with games, music and a bouncy house. The event gave students an opportunity to meet lifelong friends.

“I really enjoyed the chance to meet new people, and I haven’t seen ‘Frozen 2’ yet so it was very exciting,” Ela Nayir, a student from Switzerland, said.
