Most people come to the U.S. expecting to learn English.
What they donβt expect is to study with friends from around the world.
At the CalCC Olympics, students from different countries came together to compete, collaborate, and celebrate as one community.
In every conversation, students shared more than words. They shared cultures, perspectives, traditions, smiles and experiences.
These connections are what make studying abroad so powerful.
Learning English becomes easier when youβre using it to build real friendships.
And the friendships formed here often continue long after students return home.
Because some of the most valuable lessons arenβt found in textbooks.
Theyβre found in the people you meet along the way.
What country would you love to make friends from? ππ
