I enrolled in a
language course in Eckerd College for a year. Choosing ELS was really a tough
choice, since there are so many! After all, my choice of Eckerd College turned
out really good. The ELS institution was actually inside the Eckerd College,
which as nice, because I was able to enjoy a campus life as well. The campus is
beautiful, it has palm trees and the atmosphere is really bright and cheerful.
I was only going to stay for a semester, but I extended another semester. Now I
have ELS certificate, I want to attend a university in USA someday. During my
semester in Eckerd College, I visited Universal Studio and Disney Land. All the
experiences are very valuable for me. Eckerd provided not only the education
but also life experiences!
