Yes, I recommend this program

Allons à la ville de Québec!!

My experience in Quebec City was so great and exciting. I was able to live comfortably in a host home, make friends from around the world, and become more confident in my french speaking skills. My experience was very unique because there was a music festival when I visited, so I was able to take part in all the events at the festival d'été de Quebec (Quebec summer festival). I also had a very supportive host mom and a roommate who I became very close with from another part of Canada. This program really opened up my eyes to other cultures from around the world, and it also broke a lot of stereotypes that I had about certain people. It was super enjoyable and educated me in so many ways. J'aime Québec!

What would you improve about this program?
This program can be improved by having more organization. At times it was really chaotic and no one knew what was going on. There were also co-ed bathrooms that were uncomfortable to use.
