Student Quote

"People ask all the time, 'How was Switzerland?' I usually sort of laugh and look up in space while memories flash rampantly in my head: the way you arrive and you don't even know how to get out of the train station and when you stare out the window on your bus ride to leave for good how every intersection in the city has a dear, unforgettable, sad or happy part of your life forever on it. I was very lucky. I was too lucky. In one year I would have never thought that I would make the best friends of my life, and how can I share that with my friends here?"
