ISE Students Life on Long Island

Long Island silouhette

Welcoming an exchange student can ignite curiosity about their home country, culture, and way of life. There may be a strong desire to learn about their traditions, language, food, and customs, which can lead to a sense of wonder and discovery. Being a host comes with responsibilities such as providing a safe and nurturing environment, offering support during their stay, and helping them integrate into their new surroundings. This sense of responsibility can be both rewarding and challenging. Take a look at how a group of ISE students have found their new home on Long Island, NY! Check out the amazing video and article from Newsday below!
