6. Hear from Participants of 2014 TJU Summer Programs
“I'm def gonna miss all the SA's, I can't imagine the amount of time and effort that went into
planning stuff, showing us around to different places, and basically doing whatever it was to
make us feel welcome and comfortable even outside of all the scheduled stuff. I never for a
moment felt like I had anything to actually worry about. The past two months were
incredible and I'm so glad to have met you guys, so yeah, thanks.”
“We will return and wait for us!”
“You guys are my background of my phone!”
“All the SA's made our experience just incredible and unforgettable. I know that you made it
so easy that I am not worried at all about staying on at TJU with limited language skills. You
are all just amazing people. Thank you so much for welcoming us so warmly and taking such
good care of us. ”
“We had a lanch party last night and the theme was “around the world”. The whole night we
wished we were at Red Light Bar with you guys.”
“你们还好吗？我想你们！And I miss having duck so much!!!!!”
