"I was so happy to participate in the program. I did not have confidence in my English, but I got confidence through the program. It will give you so many chances and help you to study English. You can meet very good people."

"When I heard about the program I was so excited to go to America and experience the culture of the USA. The contents of the program were so varied. There was a TOEFL class and a regular class in the morning. They were very helpful and interesting. The Professors that taught these classes were so generous and listened carefully to what the students said. After class, there were various activities such as visiting host families, shopping, traveling, going to the beach and so on. The facilities satisfied our needs. In the dormitory each room has two people and the college offers a snack bar, and a gym, including pool and fitness room. Finally, the Calvin people were wonderful and friendly. They were so dedicated, and they accepted us with warm hearts. I really want to invite you to the program so that you can have an amazing, wonderful, and fantastic experience. Come and see!"

"Through the program I had a chance to experience Christian American culture. As I met many host families, I experienced America and saw American values in action. Above all I loved the Advanced English class. The professors were filled with passion for their class, and we had a lot of discussions about American and Korean values and culture. The daily schedule was very good. The final good thing was the Calvin tutors. Tutors are so important for ESL students. The Calvin tutors know their subject, show faith in god, and are kind to people. They had so much love for us. I recommend this program because you can get a variety of experiences, communicate with different people, and do some exciting travel. You'll never regret it!"

"캘빈 대학교에서 내가 보낸 한 달은 정말 소중했다. 우리와 함께 시간을 보낸 디렉터 리사, 교수님들, 튜터들을 포함한 캘빈사람들… 이 사람들은 우리에게 학업이상의 많은 것들을 보여주고 가르쳐주었다. 여행만으로는 느낄 수 없는 미국인들만의 생각, 문화, 가족애 등등. 이번 여름은 내 대학생활 방학 중 가장 보람있는 시간이었다. 이런 좋은 프로그램에 참여하게 된게 정말 고맙고 감사하다. 기회가 닿으면 다시 한 번 가보고 싶고, 만나고 싶다."
"I would not exchange a month that I spent at Calvin College with any of my other summer experiences. I will never forget our Director Lisa Bauman, all the English professors, tutors and everyone else who we interacted with at Calvin campus. They taught and showed us things that we would never be able to experience ordinarily from a short trip to the U.S. They educated us about the American ways of thinking, their cultures, friendships, family dynamics, and many more. I was so glad to be part of this great experience. I really want to go back and visit all the places where we made memories and meet all the familiar faces on Calvin campus again."

"칼빈 여름 ESL 프로그램은 우리들에게 많은 경험을 할 수 있도록 계획을 잘 짜놓았습니다. 또한 비용상으로도 ESL 프로그램은 한정돈의 비용으로 최대의 경험을 할 수 있도록 도와주었습니다. "
"Calvin's study program provided a very solid and structured program for us to learn and experience many different things. I feel like the program was well worth the cost."
