Hoang Dang (University of Nebraska-Lincoln)

“AmVn Exchange helped me connect with other Vietnamese international students here, which made my transition to the U.S. a lot better. As a new graduate student, I am glad that AmVn Exchange introduced me to other graduate students here so that I could learn from their experience. Even though I have only been here a couple months, I already feel comfortable with life here. I also really enjoy my classes at the university.”

“It has been a lonely and confusing transition from home to the U.S. I am glad that AmVn Exchange people have always been there for me when I needed them the most. They make being away from home more bearable. They also helped me find a great place to live and a good school to study. I am excited about all the opportunities for learning new things here! My dream is to get into Harvard. I know it is difficult but I am going to try my best!”

Ngan Do (Union College)

“My best friend and I came here together in the AmVn Exchange’s Nursing Program. We both got a job working on campus while taking ESL classes there. AmVn Exchange staff also took us shopping and offered tips on everyday living in the U.S. (including the big sales in the malls!). To help us with our English, Ms. Huong arranged for us to have conversation partners to practice speaking and listening. The instructors were funny and kind. One of them made up funny story to help us learn! Next week, we are invited to AmVn Exchange’s Lunar New Year party…That’s exciting!”

“Ms. Huong has always been so caring and helpful to me. She helped me find a great apartment to live and took us grocery shopping. She was also a big sister who gave me advice about life in the U.S. I was able to make a lot of new friends and learn a lot of English. Ms. Huong also helped me get a job on campus to get some work experience. AmVn Exchange gave me more than a service, they care about me!”

"Even though it was snowing a lot the day I came to America, the people from AmVn Exchange were there at the airport waiting for me already when I arrived. They were so warm and welcoming. They helped me move into my apartment and took me to school on my first day at school. I have only been here for a week and I already made some good friends, have a nice place to live, and settle nicely into my new life in America. I am looking forward to the Lunar New Year party that AmVn Exchange hosting this weekend… It’s gonna be so much fun!!!!!!!!!”
