TESTIMONIALS

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY?

“When I first put my step into Germany, I was half worried and half excited. That was the first time I had lived far from my family. However, it was a great chance for me to test my survival skills. It turned out to be a great chance for my personal improvement. It was the first time I had been able to cook a full meal for myself, shop for clothes and other stuff.

Furthermore, it was wonderful to live in an international environment, got to know more tradition and culture in other countries. There was one time that I had a chance to take part in an international dinner. I tried many different dishes from Pakistan, China, Mexico, etc. This opportunity offered me a wonderful trip, travelling around Europe once in a lifetime, visiting all famous tourist attraction.

The trip to celebrate my youth. Thank Europe, thank Tl Stiftung, thank family and thank myself for not letting my youth pass meaninglessly.”

“I usually encouraged myself by saying ‘Keep your heart warm in the Nordic cold’. Being far away from home is the bravest choice I’ve ever made. Stepping out of my familiar zone makes me become more aware of other cultures around the world and aware of myself. When you are on exchange, you realize that how immense the world is, and you are just, a tiny part of it. That makes your desire to stand out increases. I learned some Swedish, went ‘fika’ at 14.00, just like a Swede does. I did travel around Europe, met some strangers at hostel and could talk with them for hours. I felt full of love.

Every Wednesday night is the most expected time in a week. We have party, we dance, we drink together. So, why don’t you just come to Jönköping and enjoy yourself? I’m truly into that place.”
