Top 5 Quotes from Abroad
May 14, 2010
Over 40 Camosun students are taking the adventure of a lifetime and earning academic credit beyond Canadian borders. Some students are participating in an international field school while others are on an international exchange—both options are offered through the college’s international education department, Camosun College International (CCI).
In these technological times, getting updates from globetrotting students is easier than ever—never more than a blog or a facebook update away. Excerpts pop up from Mexico, France or India, to name a few, and when they are discovered, they spread through the office like wildfire.
We have some talented, descriptive writers among our students, and we invite you to join us as we live vicariously through their blogs and posts. But before you do, we have the latest Top 5 Quotes from Abroad, in no particular order, to give you a taste of what you are about to explore:

We have no TV nor cell phones. Our days are unlike the daily grind that we left behind. Although our daily schedule is planned, we always have a plan B, and if that does not work, we are always prepared for plan C. - Lewanna – Tonga
