We do have a public school on the campus of our host institution so the client could drop her child off at the same time as coming to campus for ELS classes. She will need to contact the Portland Public Schools and let them know of her intention before she arrives so she goes through the appropriate process for this. Also, the school year will start in the middle of August. Our first class starts at 8:30am and if she studies SEMI, she will finish at 12:25 each day
Ms. Shanshan 선생님은 중국계 미국인이라서 처음엔 걱정했는데, 역시 미국은 다민족 국가라서 그런지, 네이티브 아메리칸 이었어요. ELS건물이 콩코디아 빌딩과 에인스워스빌딩과 약간 떨어져있어요. 5분 거리라서 걸을만 하고 현대식 시설 정말 좋습니다.
홈스테이 신청했는데, 처음 배정받은 곳은 맞질 않고, 문제가 많아서 변경해주셨는데 2번째 집은 좋았습니다. Ms. Catherine 선생님은 문화차이인지 무시하는 것 같아서 좀 불편했습니다. 사우디아라비아 학생들과 잘 어울려서 즐거운 시간 보냈습니다.
무비자로 간거라서 오전수업만 받는 건데, 학교에서 업그레이드 해줘서 추가비용내고 오후까지 공부했어요.
