Discomfort and difficulty in various forms embraced almost every one of them when they first landed in India. Julien was annoyed by heat, crowd, and people not talking in English. While Nasra had difficulty adjusting with spicy and oily food. Malory was fed up of people wanting to pose with her. But slowly and steadily they are not only adapted but also are having one of the best experiences of their life. Malory’s new found love is panipuri now. She has even bought a beautiful Indian Saree and was gifted a pair of stunning Indian earring by an Indian friend to complement the Saree to wear during upcoming Diwali. Everybody is so eager to learn Hindi before they leave this Country.
Learning is about give and take. Exchange students on the process of learning in our country honor us too with tremendous learning experience. We learn about their culture, get virtual experience about their education system, their Country and so on. In short, student exchange program has been one of the most enriching experiences to the entire student community of IIML.
