A trip to Washington, D.C.

Tubing on the Gunpowder River.

A baseball game at Camden Yards to see the Baltimore Orioles played the Chicago White Sox.


Students fell very sad at the farewell dinner party since they had a wonderful time for this summer program and didn't want to say good-bye.


It was the best time of my life ever during my two weeks' stay in College of Notre Dame. I have learned English for a long time and this experience ensured my passion to English. America is a country with excellent living environment and full of surprise. I will definitely visit it again in the future. (Sarah Jiang, Department of English Language, Literature and Linguistics)




What I have experienced in the States was people are very polite, kind and always trying to help me. I have learnt some conversation and idioms in English. However, it would be much better if I have known some basic conversation before I went so that I knew how to reply when people said "Excuse me" ! This is a great program but was too short. I wish I could go back again. (Vicky Chang, Department of Youth and Child Welfare)



It was always my dream to participate a short term program abroad and my dream finally came true especially it happened in the States where I wouldn't even dare to dream of. This trip was short yet I have learned a lot. Moreover, I made lots of friends. It was just like yesterday whenever I recall this exciting memory. (Katie Chen, Department of International Business)
